RTO’s clean industrial exhaust air
of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s). An RTO uses
a combination of thermal oxidation and regenerative heat
recovery to achieve highly efficient pollution destruction
whilst minimizing operating costs. The end products (water
vapour and carbon dioxide) can safely be vented to atmosphere.
Heating the polluted air stream to the oxidation temperature
requires considerable thermal energy. The regenerative heat
recovery system uses multiple masses (beds) of heat resistant
ceramic material to store and release thermal energy. This
thermal regeneration can achieve heat recovery efficiencies
well in excess of 90%.
A typical application is destruction
of solvent vapours from an automotive manufacturing plant
paint line.
