Applied Catalysts products

Applied Catalysts produces ABATE RCO-EX base metal extruded raschig ring catalysts for VOC abatement. These base metal extrusions have excellent destruction efficiency for a variety of compounds, and thus are a fit for some unique applications. For example, a 5/8” x 5/8” cylindrical version of our extrusions is perfect for RCO applications (Regenerative Catalytic Oxidation) as an RCO Catalyst. Designed with wood panelboard applications in mind, these extrusions have high strength to prevent cracking and fracturing, and fit perfectly onto packed bed heat exchange media designs.

Beads, Spheres, and Pellets are typically used interchangeably, to refer to precious metal impregnated, stabilized alumina, particulate supports. When designing a packed bed system for Industrial Air Pollution Control, Applied Catalysts can provide you with off the shelf solutions in both nominal 1/8”spheres and nominal 1/4” spheres, or a custom sphere size that you may require. Depending on the requirements for destruction, and the VOC’s or compounds that you are trying to abate, we will choose the proper metal loading for that application.

Regenerative Air Pollution Control Systems are currently the most widely used systems for Industrial Air Pollution Control and VOC abatement. With 95% heat recovery, regenerative systems are very efficient for a wide variety of applications. Catalyst can be used in cases of high flow rate and low concentration of VOC’s to be abated, to lower the operating costs of the regenerative system. Additionally, when CO and NOx are an issue, catalysts can be an excellent option. Catalysts oxidize CO readily, and due to the low temperature required to abate the VOC’s, there is less burner NOx created than with a thermal based system (RTO). Hence, a NOx removal system and capital may be avoided by using ABATE-RCO-S media.
