The BIOTOX regenerative thermal oxidation process consists of oxidizing in a combustion chamber the organic compounds (vocs and cocs) contained in the industrial emissions being treated, while recovering sensible heat from combustion gases by means of ceramic beds. The recovered heat is then used to preheat entry gases thanks to an efficient heat transfer between entry and exit gases. The typical combustion temperature is 800†C while the residence time is one second. The combustion gases, mainly composed of water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2 ), are then released into the atmosphere.

Maximizing Ventilation Air Methane (VAM) abatement at minimum cost. Based on the experience gained from its first VAM project, Biothermica has developed a Second generation Vamox Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) system fully optimized by Biothermica’s engineers to maximize carbon credits production in the most economical fashion. For illustrative purposes, at 0,9%,v/v (the methane concentration typically observed on vent bleeder shafts in the U.S), this Vamox® system would generate about 750 tCO2e/24h (~260,000 tCO2e/year based on 95% uptime), with a total parasitic power consumption of only 700 hp (520 kW) approximately.
