Abstract
A relationship developed in a companion paper to estimate emissions fr om surface-aerated reactors that accounts for both gas- and liquid-pha se mass-transfer resistances is extended to reactors with diffused-aer ation systems. The method accurately predicts the observed stripping r ate of 20 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with a wide range of Henry 's coefficients over a wide range of hydrodynamic conditions. The degr ee of gas saturation and the liquid- and gas-phase mass-transfer coeff icients are estimated.
