What is Stripping Operation ?

Stripping is a physical separation process where one or more components are removed from a liquid stream by a vapor stream. In industrial applications the liquid and vapor streams can have co-current or countercurrent flows. Stripping is usually carried out in either a packed or trayed column. The variables and design considerations for strippers are many. Among them are the entering conditions, the degree of recovery of the solute needed, the choice of the stripping agent and its flow, the operating conditions, the number of stages, the heat effects, and the type and size of the equipment.

What is the Kremser - Souders - Brown Equation ?

In unit operation design calculations, it is useful to find out the quality of separation for a given number of stages. It is also useful to find the required number of stages if the product recovery is specified. The development was first given by Kremser in 1930, and by Souders and Brown in 1932. The resulting equations are referred to as the KSB or Kremser equations. These equation were originally developed for gas absorption operation in a plate column, however, it is applicable to other mass transfer operations as well (for example, counter current adsorption).
