Considering ceramic media replacement in your regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO)? Wondering about the many options and claims you have heard from peers at other companies? We hope this post provides some clarity to start you on the right path.
RTOs have been a workhorse oxidizer for over 30 years. Many ceramic media types and designs have been developed over that time offer a significant improvement in performance and plugging resistance allowing an RTO to be utilized to t
What is the PLC?
PLC stands for programmable logic controller. When programming a regenerative thermal oxidizer, there are two interfaces that you’ll encounter. First, there is the human machine interface, or HMI, and then there is the programmable logic controller, or PLC. Together, the RTO uses both traditional human input and machine learning (i.e., programmable logic) to provide flexibility, added performance, and added control to the Thermal Oxidation proce
While both are a type of Thermal Oxidizer, the difference between a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) and Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer is how these machines recover heat during the oxidation process. Each technology destroys pollutants by heating the dirty airstream to very high temperatures to destroy the hydrocarbons (VOC) in the airstream. Each utilizes heat recovery to reduce the gas use needed to heat the airstream. The method of recovering heat is significantly different between the
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are necessary compounds used in household chemicals, industrial manufacturing processes, or are byproducts of exhaust from automobiles, aircraft, and small engines. They can be harmful to the environment and to people, and can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, cause severe headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, memory impairment, and even some cancers. VOCs that get released into the environment can react with nitric oxidizes creating smog e

Selecting the appropriate air pollution control equipment for a particular industry can be challenging to say the least. Though companies are experts in their field, they are usually not experts in regard to air pollution control equipment. That`s where a qualified supplier of air pollution control equipment comes in. A qualified staff with extensive experience applying, designing, installing and thermal &, catalytic oxidizers will steer a buyer clear of common s
