Cross-Flow versus Counterflow Air-Stripping Towers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mass-transfer and pressure-drop packing performance correlations are used together with tower design equations and detailed cost models to compare the effectiveness of cross-flow and counterflow air stripping towers over ...
Characterizing Polyurethane Foam as a Sink for or Source of Volatile Organic Compounds in Indoor Air
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Polyurethane foam (PUF) is widely used in indoor consumer products. Despite strong potential interactions with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the effect of PUF on indoor concentrations of VOCs has not been examined. ...
The Effect of Variability in Hydraulic Conductivity on Contaminant Transport through Soil–Bentonite Cutoff Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Statistical analyses of data sets from five case histories indicate that soil–bentonite hydraulic conductivity is distributed log normally. The advection–diffusion equation was used to investigate the impact of log-normal ...
Transport and Sorption of Organic Gases in Activated Carbon
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The relationships among adsorption-desorption kinetics, equilibrium partitioning, and fixed-column breakthrough curves are elucidated for airborne benzene and vinyl chloride on activated carbon grains and fibers. An ...
Air/Water Oxygen Transfer in a Biological Aerated Filter
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The oxygen-transfer characteristics of an upflow biological aerated filter filled with angular clay media were determined over a wide range of gas and liquid flow rates. Liquid-side, oxygen-transfer coefficients
Modeling a Proposed Quarry Reservoir for Raw Water Storage in Atlanta, Georgia
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The City of Atlanta plans to convert a recently acquired urban quarry into Bellwood Quarry Reservoir (BQR), an off-stream supplemental water supply. CE-QUAL-W2, Version 3.5, was used to perform five-year water quality ...
Oxygen Transfer Model for a Flow-Through Hollow-Fiber Membrane Biofilm Reactor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A mechanistic oxygen transfer model was developed and applied to a flow-through hollow-fiber membrane-aerated biofilm reactor. Model results are compared to conventional clean water test results as well as performance data ...
Cross-Flow versus Counterflow Air-Stripping Towers

Bubble Plume Integral Model for Line-Source Diffusers in Ambient Stratification
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: We developed an integral plume model to simulate the behavior of bubble plumes generated from line-source geometry in stratified ambient reservoirs by adapting the double-plume integral model developed for point-sources ...
