The Anguil Emission Concentrator is an adsorption system designed to concentrate large volume, low concentration process exhaust into a much smaller, higher concentrated air stream. 

The greatly reduced flow with higher Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) concentration is sent to a thermal or catalytic oxidizer for VOC destruction. The destruction device can then be much smaller in size, significantly reducing capital cost. The resultant higher VOC concentration controlled in the smaller abatement equipment minimizes auxiliary fuel consumption.

How Do Emission Concentrators Work?

The high volume, low concentration airstream passes through a rotor concentrator where VOC emissions are stripped from the air and adsorbed onto the zeolite. The majority (approximately 90-95% of the total air volume) of this clean air is then exhausted to atmosphere. A small portion of the air stream (approximately 5-10% of the total air volume) is heated to an elevated temperature to be used as desorption air.

The concentrator rotor spins continuously at a very slow rate, transporting adsorbed pollutants into a desorption section. In the desorption section, the VOCs are desorbed or released from the adsorptive media with the low volume heated airstream. This low volume, high VOC-laden air is then processed by an oxidizer.

The concentrator with integrated oxidizer is often the most cost effective technology for processing high volume, low concentration streams. While the capital cost of a system is competitive with other technologies, the true savings is realized in reduced operating costs.  When coupled with a concentrator, an oxidizer will operate with  little to no natural gas consumption.  At higher concentration values, it even has sufficient “free energy” to provide desorption energy for the concentrator.
