The Anguil Thermal Recuperative Oxidizer destroys Hazardous Air
Pollutants (HAPs), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and odorous
emissions that are often discharged from various industrial
processes. The air pollution control device uses the proper mix of
temperature, residence time, turbulence and oxygen to achieve
destruction or thermal oxidation.
How the Thermal Recuperative Oxidizer Works
The Thermal Oxidizer is designed based on volume of airflow,
organic vapor concentrations and desired destruction efficiency.
During operation, HAP and VOC laden air is drawn into the system
fan and discharged into the inlet where it is preheated in the tube
side (typically) of a shell-and-tube style heat exchanger.
Contaminated air then passes by the burner where it is raised to
the thermal oxidation temperature (1,200-1,800ºF / 650-1,000ºC) for
the specified residence time (0.5 - 2.0 seconds) and an exothermic
reaction takes place. The pollutants are converted to carbon
dioxide, water vapor and heat with within the reactor chamber.
The hot, purified air then passes again through the shell side
(typically) of the heat exchanger where the energy released by the
reaction is used to preheat the incoming air. The heat exchanger
minimizes the system's fuel consumption with the system being
self-sustaining at moderate Lower Explosive Limits (LELs). Finally,
the contaminant-free air is exhausted into the atmosphere.
Applications which carry silicones may have the configuration
reversed, allowing the hot silicone laden air to pass through the
tube side of the heat exchanger after the burner for maintenance
and cleaning.
