Stripper Column
Remove VOCs & Ammonia
Steam and air stripper columns remove ammonia, methanol, solvents and VOCs from wastewater before downstream evaporation or biological treatment — protecting your equipment and processes.

Stripper Column Questions
In Zero Liquid Discharge systems, a stripper column is used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs), solvents, or ammonia from the effluent before it enters the evaporator. This prevents foaming and ensures pure condensate recovery.
Yes. By integrating high-efficiency condensers and reflux control, we can recover solvents like Methanol, IPA, and Ethanol from pharmaceutical wastewater at high purity levels for reuse in the process.
Depending on the fouling nature of the feed, we use random packing (Raschig rings, Pall rings) or high-efficiency structured packing in SS 304, SS 316, or specialized plastics for corrosive service.
