Vocsidizer® RTO Operating Principle
For VOC control, HAPs control, and odor control, the innovative, patented design of the Vocsidizer® regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) meets most environmental regulations with remarkable energy efficiency and design simplicity. The oxidation reactions, which purify the process exhaust, occur entirely within the heat exchange media. There is no open flame and therefore none of the unwanted by-products of flame combustion.
The Vocsidizer® offers effective VOC control with exceptional energy efficiency. Little, if any, supplementary fuel is required to sustain oxidation once initial thermal operating conditions are achieved. The Vocsidizer® also easily achieves thermal efficiencies as high as 98%. Even at very low VOC concentrations, the latent energy in the solvent is enough to sustain thorough oxidation. A natural gas injection system provides supplementary fuel if needed. The absence of a burner and a classical combustion chamber, along with its modular design, reduce capital and installation costs. The low-maintenance design also provides years of trouble-free operation.
