Zero - Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – EU-Project - Case Study
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are released, for instance, from organic solvents emitted from industrial processes. VOC emissions can be carcinogenic, and contribute to climate change and destruction of the stratospheric ozone layer. They react with nitrogen oxides forming ozone and smog. Directive 99/13/EC states that the VOC emissions from the solvent using industry should have been reduced ...

Identifying Your Ideal Air Pollution Control Technology, Scenario 2
In our recent blog, "What's the Best Air Pollution Control Technology for My Process?", we took a look at the many factors that inform the choice of air pollution control equipment. When considering air pollution control needs for a facility, it is important for the plant's engineering staff to discuss the application data with potential suppliers. This data includes details about the process ...

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 ...

Upstream Particulate Removal for Rtos on Direct-Fired Osb Dryers – How much is enough?
Abstract Since 1994 Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) have been applied to direct wood-fired OSB dryers for the purpose of VOC abatement. In early direct wood-fired OSB dryer applications many OSB producers felt that upstream particulate control was not necessary. However, the ash from the combustion of wood waste created a host of new operational problems for the RTO systems. This paper ...

CPI Installs RTO at Resin & Surface Coating Manufacturer
Catalytic Products International (CPI) recently completed the installation of a 2,000 SCFM Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) at a Midwest USA manufacturer of resins and surface coatings for the abatement of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The new 2,000 SCFM Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) replaces an existing Catalytic Oxidizer and will destroy the VOC emissions from two (2) existing ...

Case study : VOC analysis in ambient air by FID dectection - Complete system airmOzone
Ozone concentration has been multiplied by 5 in the last century in the middle latitudes of the northern hemisphere from 10 PPB in 1874 to approximately 50 PPB today. This is an increase of 1.6% per year; the trend is probably higher (2.4% a year) over the last decades. (Chapter 1 of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program - World Climate Research Program) In order to stop this global ...

CPI Installs 60,000 SCFM RTO at Web Coater
Catalytic Products International (CPI) installed a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) with +99% DRE at a Northeastern USA web coater for the abatement of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). The 60,000 SCFM Triton II-60.97 Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) will control VOC and HAP emissions from three (3) web coating lines and associated ovens at the ...

Less Obvious Health Hazards in the Workplace
Workplace exposures to agents that can cause injury to employees are generally restricted to physical, chemical or biological sources. It’s not just the factory worker who is at risk. Exposures can be presented by a variety of dusts and fibers. Renovating an office can produce gypsum dust, paint solvents, the release of asbestos fibers and hidden mold spores. A poorly running ventilation ...

How to Optimize Oxidation Systems for Efficient Operation
Emphasis on air management within converting-process dryers and ovens is critical to the design of pollution-control systems for treating exhausts containing VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Efficient air management allows the pollution-control system to be optimally sized to meet the needs of the process. Good process control further defines the emission stream by avoiding the need for large ...

Metal Coating Emission Control
As the first generation of oxidizer systems in the industry nears the end of their service life, many canmaking plants face repair or replacement of their existing air pollution control systems. Like many others in the industry, a Silgan canmaking plant in the Midwest had been using a thermal recuperative oxidizer with direct heat recovery for control of emissions from its sheet coating lines. ...

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 ...
