本文介绍了两项评价填料塔曝气去除三卤甲烷（THM）的中试研究结果。一项研究是在佛罗里达州南部的石灰软化地下水上进行的，另一项是在加利福尼亚州北部的常规处理地表水上进行的。尽管水质不同，但这两项研究的结果几乎相同。这些数据用于确定液体传质系数的相关常数。然后将相关性应用于两位作者提出的工艺设计模型，以确定去除87%溴仿的最具成本效益的设计。作者建议对其他商用包装进行类似分析。（摘要也以西班牙语出现）包括15篇参考文献、表格、图表。

This article presents the results of two pilot studies that evaluated trihalomethane (THM) removal by packed-tower aeration. One study was conducted on a lime-softened groundwater in southern Florida and the other on a conventionally treated northern California surface water. In spite of the differences in water quality, the results of the two studies were nearly identical. The data were used to determine constants of a correlation for the liquid mass transfer coefficient. The correlation was then applied to a process design model proposed by two of the authors to determine the most cost effective design for an 87 percent removal of bromoform. The authors recommend that a similar analysis be conducted on other commercially available packings. (Abstract also appears in Spanish) Includes 15 references, tables, figures.
