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.
How to Calculate Stripping Factor given Absorption Factor?
Stripping Factor given Absorption Factor calculator uses Stripping Factor = 1/Absorption Factor to calculate the Stripping Factor, The Stripping Factor given Absorption Factor is defined as the reciprocal for the absorption factor. Its value should be greater than 1.0 for effective transfer of solute in the mass transfer stage. Stripping Factor is denoted by S symbol.
