The water from the adsorption system will be further treated to remove radon and carbon dioxide in a packed tower air stripper following which the finished water will be pH adjusted and chlorinated before distribution to the public. While cold water falls downward through the packed tower, hot air from a forced-draft, gas-fueled burner rises upward - transferring 99% of the air heat to the water. |
