What Does a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer Design look like?
The Basic RTO Design Concept:
Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers destroy VOC emissions by creating a chemical reaction within the air pollutant and oxygen at elevated temperatures.
This reaction destroys VOC emissions in…
What is a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer?
A Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) is an industrial system that destroys volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in process exhaust air before it exits the stack and pollutes the environment. Historically,…
How Does a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer Work?
Pollutant Destruction Phase
1. The process begins with a high-pressure supply fan that forces exhaust fumes into the Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer.
2. Inlet switch valves direct the pollutant-laden air into one…
