title: Evaluation of the performance of full-scale packed saturators.
abstract: An evaluation of the performance of full-scale packed saturators was made. Measurements of saturator effluent air concentrations, saturator efficiency and precipitated are reported for both cold water and warm water operating conditions. Packed saturators were analyzed over a full range of operating pressures and loading rates. Measured results compared to predicted results based on a comprehensive model for the performance of packed saturators prove the model to be a useful tool in designing efficient and cost effective saturation systems.
