Flameless Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO) With Pre-Filtration For Cost Effective VOC Abatement For Particulate VOC Applications

120,000-cfm-RETOX-RTO

Adwest Technologies, Inc. of Anaheim, CA designs Flameless Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO) systems with high efficiency particulate pre-filter systems for dust and particulate laden VOC process applications including pharmaceutical, chemical processing, batch reactor, bio-pharma, oil & gas processing, hydrocarbon processing, kilns, composites, surface coating, paint finishing and halogenated air toxics off gas applications. Adwest's Flameless NOx-Free operation (no nitrous oxide byproducts) RETOX Dual Chamber RTO systems provide proven 99% VOC Abatement with a low pressure drop dual chamber corrosion resistant ceramic heat exchanger rated up to 97% effective primary heat recovery for ultra low RTO system energy usage and operational costs. Adwest's RETOX RTO systems with modular pre-filter systems are provided in compact, skid mounted, prepiped and wired modules which are available from 1,000 to 80,000 Cfm flowrates. Prefilters can be designed utilizing compact cartridge filters, pulse jet fabric filters or cyclone filters dependant upon the specific particulate composition coming into the RTO system. Multiple larger modules can be used for large flow flowrate applications of up to 320,000 scfm.

Adwest's unique FLAMELESS NOx-Free RETOX RTO NGI (natural gas injection) operation provides 40-65% less natural gas usage compared to traditional burner and combustion air blower thermal oxidizer operation. Flameless NGI operation does not generate any Nitrous Oxide (NOx) byproducts during the VOC combustion and oxidation process which provides a NOx-Free minimal carbon footprint for cost effective VOC Abatement. The RETOX dual chamber RTO Oxidizer's extremely low carbon footprint and low energy usage also does not require periodic carbon or catalyst replacement and maintenance which further lowers the life cycle total cost of RTO Oxidizer abatement and maintenance.
