Sparging and Stripping

Sparging involves injecting a gas into a liquid to facilitate the removal of dissolved gases or volatile compounds. It is used to purify liquids by transferring contaminants from the liquid phase to the gas phase.

Stripping is a method used to remove volatile compounds from a liquid by introducing a gas that strips these compounds out of the liquid. This process is commonly used for water treatment, chemical processing, and pollution control.

Nitrogen is often used due to its inert nature, which prevents unwanted chemical reactions during the sparging or stripping process. It is commonly used to remove oxygen or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from liquids.

Carbon dioxide is used in applications where pH control is also required. It can help remove dissolved gases and adjust the acidity of the liquid, making it useful in processes like wastewater treatment and beverage carbonation.

Benefits include improved efficiency in removing contaminants, enhanced process control, prevention of oxidation and other unwanted reactions, and the ability to target specific compounds for removal.

Industries include water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, and petrochemicals. These processes help in purifying liquids, recovering valuable compounds, and meeting regulatory standards.

Sparging helps remove unwanted dissolved gases and volatile compounds, improving the purity and quality of liquids. This is essential in industries like pharmaceuticals and food and beverage, where product quality is critical.
