Packed
Tower technology has been used successfully in thousands of locations,
throughout the world. In 1989, James R. Roderick, REM, CHMM, President
of Remediation Solutions, Inc. designed the first secure, skid
mounted units in use today. They are compact, easily shipped,
and easily installed. The first compact units were designed and
built in 1989. A patent was issued to Mr. Roderick, in 1991 for
his design. Many of the original units are still in operation
today treating condensate and wastewater impacted with volatile
organics.

Packed
towers or "air stripping" is one of the original forms
of groundwater remediation. The technology is tried and true.
When properly designed, constructed, and used, in the application
for which they were intended, packed towers can be 99.9% efficient.
The
determination of the tower diameter required, is a function of
the treatment flow, i.e., the gallons per minute to be treated.
While the tower height is a function of the type of contaminate
and concentration to be removed.

The
design criteria is based from "Henry's Constant" with
the design being related to an "air to water ratio".
Water temperature and quality, ambient air temperature, and, the
type and quality of the contaminant to be removed all play a major
role in the design of the packed tower. We are pleased to have
been very successful, over the years, designing, building and
installing a wide variety of packed towers for use in several
different types of remediation applications.
