Case study -New media makes RTO natural gas usage a rarity!
Overview Tekra Corporation has always had an eye on their energy conservation. They are a custom coater of plastic films in Wisconsin where state regulations require over 98% of the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emitted from their process be destroyed in an oxidizer system. While considering their first oxidizer system, Tekra's Engineers did their homework and invested in an early model ...

Differences between Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO) and Thermal Oxidizers (TO)
The main difference between Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO) and Thermal Oxidizers (TO) is the different methods they use for heat recovery in the system. Regenerative Oxidizers pass hot exhaust gas and cooler inlet gas through two or more heat exchanger beds containing ceramic media. Thermal Oxidizers pass hot exhaust through an air-to-air heat exchanger–typically through a shell ...

CPI Installs RTO at Flavoring Manufacturer
During the manufacturing of flavor and taste solutions significant emissions of VOCs and odors are released into the environment. While the compounds creating the odors may not be in sufficient concentrations to present a health risk, they can diminish the quality of life for the surrounding community. A Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) was selected as the most effective and cost-efficient ...

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers…What You Should Know.
Within industry today, the use of an Air Pollution Control System (APCS) to control harmful air pollutants is not new. In response to Congressional guidelines passed in the 1970’s, a number of companies with VOC emissions have been operating air pollution control systems of one type or another for 25 years or more. These guidelines have been revised and added to as the years progressed, making ...

Case study - Bean roasting
Overview After purchasing a new Barth roaster for their East coast processing facility, a nationally known bean roasting company knew their emissions and odors would need to be addressed with the increase in production. Action Emissions and odors from the bean roasting process have traditionally been treated with an afterburner which simply burns the roaster exhaust with natural gas or other ...

Minimizing Operating Costs in VOC Abatement Equipment
Untitled Document As governmental regulations of environmental emissions become more restrictive, the average concentration of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) has decreased as more and more dilute point source air streams are being targeted for emission control systems. To the plant manager, this translates into more VOC abatement equipment with higher operating costs. Companies ...
