Where are air strippers most commonly used?

Air strippers are most commonly used in drinking water treatment plants due to their primary function of removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other contaminants from water. This process involves introducing air into the water, which helps volatilize these contaminants, effectively stripping them from the water and allowing them to be removed from the system. This is particularly important in drinking water applications, where the safety and purity of the water supply are critical.

In contrast, while air strippers can potentially be found in other types of waste treatment facilities, their primary and most effective application is in ensuring that drinking water meets health standards by removing harmful substances. Other facilities may utilize different technologies more suited to their specific treatment needs, hence their lesser connection to the use of air strippers.
