What is a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer and how does it work?


Regenerative thermal oxidizers are used in various industries to destroy the volatile organic compounds or VOCs that are produced in the factories. These VOCs have serious negative impacts on human health and the environment. This is why regulatory compliance often calls for thermal oxidizers to cut down on the pollution they produce and keep it below the DRE emission levels. At Epcon, we have created top-quality RTO systems that offer high VOC destruction, up to 99.99%.

How does a Regenerative thermal oxidizer system work?

An RTO system is a highly energy-efficient mechanism that is able to achieve a high level of VOC destruction. It uses the process of regeneration to recover the internal heat, with 2-3 energy recovery chambers in the system, which are lined with ceramic heat recovery media. The chambers function under a ‘swing bed’ absorption principle. This principle uses flow reversal by transferring the heat through multiple beds. The polluted exhaust stream goes through multiple chambers, with the ceramic media beds absorbing the thermal energy and purifying the exhaust stream by oxidizing or destroying the VOCs. There is a cold ceramic bed chamber, which absorbs the heat energy from the clean exhaust stream and stores it for the reverse flow of the system. This system offers over 95% heat recovery efficiency through the regenerating, reversal flow process.

Our technologies are installed and increase the process efficiencies for applications such as Continuous coil coating operations, Soil remediation, composites manufacturing, Petrochemical refineries, Wastewater purification, Waste-gas treatment, and more.
 

·        The regenerative thermal oxidizers that we manufacture can work at temperatures up to 1400°F.

·        They have a residence time of 1 second and up to 95% heat recovery efficiency.

·        Turbulent flow helps these systems to reach up to high destruction efficiency, nearly 99.99% DRE.

·        You can achieve higher operating temperatures for the chlorinated compounds that are hard to oxidize with our RTOs.

·        We also offer recuperative systems with catalytic modules that are ideal for specific volatile organic compounds destruction.

We prioritize the needs and requirements of our clients. We offer custom designs for systems that can put together the customer’s heat Processing Equipment with a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer at competitive rates.

Q1 2023: CEO Business Insider

Image
Epcon has been fortunate to have several major projects, which have carried forward into 2023. And, we are sufficiently busy, with a backlog of 6+ months. While I tend to be an eternal optimist when it comes to the economy, and business outlook in general, there is a lot of grim news surrounding the financial sector due to inflation and the Federal Reserve raising interest rates. Now we have a new phenomenon to deal with – the banks.   The fault line or the weakness of the banking was totally predictable. I do not know how and why the financial experts and the bankers could not see the problems with the hundreds and billions of dollars for loans at near 0% interest rate, for the past few years, and now the cost of money lending is up to 5-7%. And the big banks will need to bail out these smaller and weaker banks, and the US government will have to bail out the bankers. This bank failure cannot be ignored nor slid under the rug. While global supply chains are gradually improving,

Business Outlook & CEO Insights

  Dear Friends, Happy New Year ! It is a great pleasure to welcome 2024 with great hope and aspirations of peace, a better economy, and a more stable world.  As we look forward to a strong 47 th year in business, let’s reflect back on the past 12 months. 2023 started as a continuation of 2022, where the high inflation caused havoc in the economy, creating uncertainties, polarized shortages, supply chain issues, skilled and unskilled labor shortages. All of this uncertainty had everyone fearfully bracing for a global recession.  “Soft-landing” or “hard-landing” was the ongoing subject of discussion, but the economy dodged a recession in 2023. In the end, the year closed with a decent GDP growth at 2.5%. Indications are showing, and economists are forecasting a slowdown in 2024. The expectation is that the GDP will be 1.7% and inflation will fall below 3%. Predictions are that inflation will fall to 2% by the end of Summer, with anticipated fluctuations until the year's end.

Business View Magazine interviews Tasha Jamaluddin, Managing Director of Epcon Industrial Systems, for our focus on the U.S. Manufacturing Sector Few companies that are not environmental protection agencies are as hard at work protecting the environment as Epcon Industrial Systems . Based in The Woodlands, Texas, the company is in a unique niche that builds air pollution control solutions for a wide range of industries. In its 44th year, the company has become a significant supplier for industries like food and beverage, aerospace, and oil and gas, and many more. With the U.S. government and government worldwide passing more and stricter environmental protection laws, Epcon is at the epicentre of a massive industry shift towards more responsible industrial practices. “We started with a list of about 28 industries that we serve, but right now, that list has grown to over 50, as more industries adopt tighter environmental protection protocols,” says Tasha Jamaluddin, Managing Directo
