H₂S Strippers
Targeted Hydrogen Sulfide Removal from Water
Branch Environmental custom-engineers H₂S Strippers to eliminate hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from wastewater and process streams. These systems use air stripping to ensure safe, odor-free discharge and environmental compliance.
Why Choose H₂S Strippers?
Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic, odorous gas that must be removed efficiently from water streams to meet regulatory standards and avoid corrosion, odor complaints, and downstream treatment issues.
Our H₂S strippers use air or natural gas as the stripping medium and are tailored to match your target pH, temperature, and treatment goals. From municipal wastewater plants to industrial sites, MXD delivers fully integrated solutions built for durability and precision.
Common Applications Include:
-
Wastewater treatment (municipal & industrial)
-
Groundwater remediation
-
Odor control at lift stations and lagoons
-
Process water conditioning
-
Biogas desulfurization (when integrated with flares or oxidizers)
How Do H₂S Strippers Work?
The system operates on air stripping principles, where contaminated water flows downward through a packed column while air or gas moves upward in a counter-current configuration.
Chemical Conversion
At pH levels between 4–5, soluble sulfides are converted into volatile H₂S gas. This transformation enhances stripping efficiency, allowing the gas to transfer from the water into the air stream.
Optional Air Treatment
In low-concentration applications, H₂S can often be vented safely. For higher concentrations or odor-sensitive environments, the air stream is routed to a secondary treatment step—such as a chemical scrubber or thermal oxidizer—where the gas is neutralized into an inert compound like sodium sulfate or fully destroyed.
