Located in Tianjin, China, one of the world’s leading petro-chemical companies needed to destroy VOC emissions from their purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant.
The emissions that resulted from the manufacturing process included methyl acetate, xylene, benzene, methyl bromide, methanol, and…
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 the air stream by converting them to gas, water and…
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, RTOs have been used extensively in industries producing a high…
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 of the energy recovery canisters.
3. The air continues to travel…
It’s no secret distinguishing the difference between one VOC control system manufacturer’s offerings and another can be challenging. Since product testing can’t be done prior to purchase, decisions are often made solely on a vendor’s credibility and design data.
So…
In part 2 of this series, we’ve defined a step-by-step checklist of criteria you can use to develop a list of specifications and project requirements you’ll need when submitting a formal RFQ (request for quotation) to VOC abatement system…
A Comprehensive Guide (Part 1 of 2): A Review of Volatile Organic Compound Destruction Technologies
In part 1 of this 2-part series, we’re covering an overview of today’s modern VOC abatement systems. In part 2, we will share a check-list…
