Degassing Contaminated Water

About this webinar
Before contaminated water can be reused, recycled or further treated, dissolved gases and other contaminants must be removed. However, the removal of dissolved gases can be extremely challenging.  

Water containing high amounts of contaminants such as oil and suspended solids can lead to difficulties for conventional methods of gas removal, such as packed or sieve tray towers.  Significant contamination by suspended solids or oils can result in plugging or fouling of the tower internals.  This means that to remove hazardous or undesirable gases, many pretreatment steps must be added ahead of the tower.  In applications where water contains high levels of suspended solids and oil, conventional approaches tend to fail quickly and, as a result, alternative technologies are emerging that can be more effective at removing dissolved gases, even in highly contaminated wastewater streams.  

In this webinar, we will examine Veolia's CoStrip™ degasification technology.  CoStrip is an ideal solution for degasification of water streams containing high loadings of oil and suspended solids. Unlike conventional degasification towers, which utilize packed beds that are highly susceptible to plugging or fouling, CoStrip effectively removes dissolved gases such as BTEX, CO2, and H2S without the need for upstream treatment, reducing overall treatment costs and eliminating corrosion and safety issues.
