Recuperative Thermal Oxidizers

Thermal Fume Oxidizers are designed for minimum fuel consumption with exhaust heat recuperation.

VOC-laden exhaust air is ducted to the thermal oxidizer system, typically passing through a primary heat exchanger and then into the oxidizer combustion chamber. The preheated exhaust air then passes across an auxiliary burner and is heated to a temperature-controlled oxidation temperature suitable for the oxidation of VOCs in the process.

The air is held at that temperature for a sufficient length of time to insure conversion of the hydrocarbons to harmless products of combustion. As part of the oxidation process, the VOCs in the exhaust air release heat which adds sufficient energy to the system to be allow the temperature-controlled fuel valve to throttle back and be used only to trim the preset operating temperature.
