The Anguil Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer destroys Hazardous Air
Pollutants (HAPs), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and odorous
emissions that are often discharged from industrial processes. The
RTO achieves emission destruction through the process of high
temperature thermal oxidation, using the proper mix of temperature,
residence time, turbulence and oxygen to convert pollutants into
carbon dioxide and water vapor while reusing the thermal energy
generated to reduce operating costs.
How the RTO Works
VOC and HAP laden process gas is either pushed or pulled into
the inlet manifold of the oxidizer via a system fan. Flow
control or poppet valves then direct this gas into energy recovery
chambers where it is preheated. The process gas and contaminants
are progressively heated in the ceramic media beds as they move
toward the combustion chamber.
Once oxidized in the combustion chamber, the hot purified air
releases thermal energy as it passes through the media bed in the
outlet flow direction. The outlet bed is heated and the gas is
cooled so that the outlet gas temperature is only slightly higher
than the process inlet temperature. Poppet valves alternate the
airflow direction into the media beds to maximize energy recovery
within the oxidizer. The high energy recovery within these
oxidizers reduces the auxiliary fuel requirement and saves
operating cost. The Anguil oxidizer achieves high destruction
efficiency and self-sustaining operation with no auxiliary fuel
usage at low concentrations.
