PROBLEM STATEMENT

Groundwater, at a rate of 18,020 kg/h, and containing three volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), is to be stripped with air in a trayed tower to produce drinking water that will be safe for human consumption. Relevant data is shown in the Table 1 below.

Table 1: Data of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) in the groundwater

Component	K- Value	Concentration(ppm)	Concentration(ppm)
		Groundwater	Maximum allowed for drinking water
VOC 1	500	80	0.0005
VOC 2	375	120	0.0005
VOC 3	600	160	0.0005

Question:

Determine the minimum airflow in m³/h (at 101.325 kPa and 0°C).
