The Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer is a thermal oxidizing system consisting of a combustion chamber with a shell and tube heat pre-heat exchanger. The high levels of destuction efficiency are achieved by the design of the system giving equal importance to three oxidation parameters:
1. Temperature
2. Residence time
3. Turbulence
Processes that may benefit from EPCON’s abatement technology:
Chemical, manufacturing or recycling plants involved with:
- Spray booths
- Curing Ovens
- Priming operations
- Finishing
- Gas turbine engines
- Stationary engines
- Fired heaters
Boilers
- Coating operations
- Soil remediation
- Acidic streams
- HCl
- HF
- H2S abatement
- Oil refineries
- Wastewater purification
- Waste-gas treatment
EPCON’s line of Recuperative Thermal Oxidizers operate at 1400°F, with a residence time of 1 second
and a heat recovery efficiency of up to 80%.. Turbulent flow allows these systems to achieve such
a high destruction efficiency, up to 99.99% and high heat recovery as well. Higher operating
temperatures are also achievable for hard to oxidize chlorinated compounds. EPCON also offers
recuperative systems with catalytic modules suitable for VOC destruction.
Complete integration of an EPCON Thermal Oxidation System includes the following:
Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
Temperature control system
Oxidation Chamber
Epcon can design a system to fully intergrate a customer's heat Processing Equipment
with a Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer. This provides tremendous costs savings with respect to minimizing the use
of natural gas and mechanical sub assemblies.
