What Does NTU Stand For?
NTU stands for Number Of Transfer Units In Packed Tower Aeration System
NTU, or Number of Transfer Units in Packed Tower Aeration System, is a crucial parameter used in the design and evaluation of packed towers for gas-liquid mass transfer processes. It quantifies the efficiency of the aeration system by representing the number of individual mass transfer units required to achieve a desired level of gas absorption or stripping. A higher NTU indicates a more efficient system, enabling better performance in applications such as wastewater treatment and air pollution control. Understanding NTU facilitates the optimization of system design and operational parameters for improved environmental outcomes.
