A Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) has heat recovery chambers containing beds of ceramic material to recover heat from the exhaust gas. This design allows for thermal efficiency as high as 97+ while maintaining the highest destruction efficiency (99+). This type of installation, depending on the concentration of VOCs in the waste stream, can nullify the need for support fuel consumption via “flame-less” combustion.

Catalytic thermal oxidizers use a catalyst to promote the oxidation of selected contaminant molecules. Catalytic oxidation occurs through a chemical reaction between the molecules and a precious-metal catalyst bed within the stream. With an operating temperature in the range of 400-600°C this application has the benefit to drastically reduce the required auxiliary fuel and NOx production. Recuperators can be included in the system to further reduce operating costs and emissions.
