What are regenerative thermal oxidizers?
Regenerative thermal oxidizers are a pollution control device that destroys pollutants and then recycles the heat generated by their burning. The term thermal oxidizer concerns a machine that destroys pollutants through heat -producing. Restoration and re -use of energy generated in this way leads to these thermal oxidizers are described as regenerative. This restored energy can be used to continue the process of controlling the pollution or for secondary use, such as heating water or air. The waste gas containing toxins is directed to the entrance to the oxidin water by a fan. The valves direct the gas flow to the energy recovery chambers, where the exhaust is preheated in the beds of ceramic media. Once the pollutants have been destroyed, the gas is much warmer and is routed back through ceramic media beds. Thermal transfers from gas to the bed of ceramic media when leaving them. As they lose heat, the gas cools down to a temperature that is notmuch higher than when he entered the entrance.
usually. The hydrocarbons are removed by pollutants in this process. Hydrocarbles are chemical compounds consisting of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Their burning is referred to as oxidation because the addition of oxygen causes a chemical reaction that breaks them and releases heat. The by -products of such reactions are water vapor and carbon dioxide.
There are two primary measures to evaluate regenerative thermal oxidizers. The effectiveness of destruction indicates the percentage of volatile organic compounds (VOC) removed by the mass. This efficiency can easily be 99% or higher. The efficient recovery of the heatage concerns the percentage of available thermal energy that is obtained for reuse. It is common for heat regeneration efficiency to exceed 95% using regenerative thermal oxidizers.
Use of regenerative thermal oxidizers to recycle heat fromThe oxidation process can dramatically reduce the amount of fuel needed to burn emissions of smooth gases. Reducing the required fuel may be a significant reduction in operating costs for equipment. Burning less fuel for this process also reduces the amount of pollutants produced in the process. Thanks to these factors, regenerative thermal oxidizers are more cost -effective choice than other emissions control methods in many cases.
As a result, regenerative thermal oxidizers are used in many industrial applications to remove toxins in the exhaust they generate. It is best suited for processes with relatively low VOC concentrations. Administration cabins, urban waste processing equipment and paper mills are several examples of equipment that can use regenerative thermal oxidizers for emission control.
