Abstract
A column for removing a gas from a gas-containing liquid using a stripping gas has an enclosed shell having a side wall defining an inner periphery and a top and a bottom. A gas containing liquid inlet is provided proximate at the top of the shell for introducing a gas-containing liquid into the column. At least two adjacent parallel spaced apart substantially planar sieve plates, each sieve plate being oriented transverse the side wall of the shell and having an edge conforming substantially to the inner periphery of shell, are provided within the shell. The seive plates are perforated to facilitate the passing of the gas-containing liquid therethrough. A stripping gas inlet causes a stripping gas to flow between the adjacent sieve plates. Baffles are provided between adjacent sieve plates for directing the stripping gas to flow in a torturous path, the path being parallel to and between planes formed by the sieve plates. An outlet is provided for exhausting the stripping gas from between the adjacent sieve plates.
