How do regenerative thermal oxidizers work




















Pre-heated air enters the combustion chamber where it is heated to the set-point temperature where oxidation of the VOCs are completed.

Hot treated clean air is cooled as it passes through the heat exchange media and is exhausted from the stack into the atmosphere. Every three 3 minutes the process of air flow reverses direction as the poppet valves switch positions, allowing the heat captured in the ceramic media from the exiting clean air stream to heat the incoming process air. The Temperature Safety System TSS also monitors the temperature in the regenerators, combustion chamber in three places, and in the valve assembly's inlet and outlet.

This helps safeguard the system from extreme temperature fluctuations that cause thermal stress and overall system fatigue. As soon as the required operating set-point temperature is reached, the TSS enables the process lines to feed into the oxidizer, or holds the system in idle mode until production is ready. When production is ready the fresh air purge damper closes and one or more of the diverting dampers open to draw the volatile organic compounds VOCs off the process lines.

A booster fan draws one or more VOC-laden exhausts from your process lines into the system. From there, VOCs are directed into one of the system's regenerators an internally insulated vessel containing ceramic media. The contaminated gases are passed through the first regenerator, where energy is transferred from the ceramic RTO media to the gas in order to elevate the temperature. This elevated temperature approaches the ignition level for most solvents and then is directed from the ceramic bed into the combustion chamber.

As the process stream exits the ceramic bed and travels through the internally lined combustion chamber, minimal heat is added. The oxidized gases are then directed to the second regenerator to absorb the heat energy.

As the ceramic media loads with sufficient heat, the CPI Posi-Seal Valves switch, and the gases are reversed through the system where the second regenerator bed continues the energy transfer and oxidation cycle before being released to the atmosphere, or to auxiliary heating systems such as; secondary air to air recovery, air to water recovery, air to oil recovery, or directly back to the process in a closed loop direct recirculation process.

The regenerative thermal oxidizer is in compliance with clean air regulations. Catalytic Products International has been designing, manufacturing, and installing the world's most innovative thermal oxidizers since Throughout our long history, we continually strive to offer the most advanced air pollution control equipment.

Each system is custom engineered to exceed all worldwide air compliance guidelines at the lowest overall costs. Each CPI Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer system is designed around the particular ceramic heat transfer matrix recommended for the application. CPI RTO systems can be designed using a layered structural ceramic media or a mix of structured and random media saddles , depending on your application's requirements.

Whether replacing media to improve the performance of an existing unit or selecting an original equipment manufacturing partner for your new regenerative thermal oxidizer it is important to consider every aspect of the units components. Substandard media could result in a very large long term cost difference when factoring elements such as fuel consumption and maintenance costs.

Regenerative thermal oxidizers can be also applied to destroy wastewater onsite; to learn about the Aqueous Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer, Click Here. Gulf Coast Environmental Systems continues to be one of the most trusted customized pollution control equipment providers in the world.
