An air purification system can utilize a regenerative thermal oxidizer as an energy-efficient reducer. RTOs are the most cost-effective solution for Volatile Organic Compound reduction reactions. Further, it is the most energy-efficient material used for odorous air emission.
Thermal Regenerative Oxidizer
A thermal regenerative oxidizer’s main function is to destroy VOC contaminants. These are emitted out of the exhaust during a process, so destroying them is essential. The RTO operates according to the principles of combustion, the industry standard.
High Temperature Thermal Oxidation
This air purification system uses thermal oxidizers to clean the air of HAPs and VOCs. With their thermal oxidizers, they achieve process emission destruction cleanly. This process is done through means of high-temperature thermal oxidation.
Processing contaminants like this produces carbon dioxide and water vapor. However, thermal energy is recovered, lowering overall operating costs. Due to the high thermal energy recovery, they are well suited for low VOC applications.
How Do They Work
VOC and HAP-laden gas enter the RTO through an inlet manifold. This spot is where butterfly or poppet valves direct gas into energy recovery chambers. Once it enters, the process gas and contaminants are heated on ceramic media beds, moving gas to the combustion chamber.
After the VOCs and process exhaust exit the combustion chamber, it releases energy. The hot purified air gets oxidized at this point, which reduces fuel use. Hot cleaned gas passes through the outlet media bed where it separates.
