What goes on inside a Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer?

Image
2,500 SCFM Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer . See inside this 2,500 SCFM Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer , designed, manufactured, tested and installed by Epcon. This animation demonstrates how the airflows pass through the shell and tube heat exchangers for maximum operating efficiencies. The Recuperative technology is suitable for low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) concentrations and processes requiring 24-hour operation. These systems can achieve thermal efficiency up to 97% and have a DRE (destruction removal and efficiency) of 99%.

Two (2) 3-stage Washlines for deoiling and phosphatising the steel before painting Multiple 2 lane and 4 lane exterior Bake Ovens Double and Single Lining Ovens Multiple Batch Ovens Lid Lining and Curing Ovens Multistage Heat Recovery One Single Oxidizer, 40 000 SCFM Capacity Recu...

Catalytic Thermal Oxidizer for the Emission Controls for Chemical Processing of Ethylene Oxide

Image
Catalytic Thermal Oxidizer for the Emission Controls for Chemical Processing of Ethylene Oxide The Challenge As part of a major plant expansion, a global specialty chemical producer approached Epcon to provide a cost-effective solution to effectively treat Ethylene and Ethylene Oxide emissions from their new processes. Equally as important to meeting the performance requirements was the ability to meet the tight turn-around timeline for this facility located in the Mid-Atlantic region. The Solution Working together with the plant engineers, Epcon’s experts proposed a compact and energy efficient Catalytic Thermal Oxidizer (CTO).  Leveraging Epcon’s decades of experience with Thermal Oxidation the team designed a compact L-Shaped CTO with propriety process stream, dilution and combustion air inlets, which deliverd the guaranteed destruction removal efficiency (DRE) of 99% to comply with Federal Regulations, Title 40 of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  Co...

Catalytic Oxidizers Vary in Design & Quality

Image
A common misconception is that you've seen one catalytic oxidizer for air pollution, you've seen them all.   The reality is these systems can vary greatly.  In most cases, a control system automatically unlocks the process, energizes the blowers, and purges the system with fresh air prior to igniting the burner and bringing the system up to its optimum operating temperature. Once heated, the air stream laden with VOCs enters the oxidizer's mixing chamber. It's best that a thorough mixing occurs to insure temperature uniformity. Certain basics do apply for all catalytic oxidizers. In general, the catalytic treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other air pollutants,   happens over a customized precious metal catalyst bed withing the combustion chamber. During the oxidation process the harmful compounds are broken down to carbon dioxide, water vapor, and usable heat. These relatively harmless byproducts are often released into the atmosphere and the thermal e...
