PCC - Flameless Thermal Oxidizers (FTO) Systems
Process Combustion Corporation`s Flameless Thermal Oxidizer (FTO) systems are the best solution for applications that require the highest Destruction Removal Efficiencies (DRE) and lowest NOx emissions. Each FTO is fully automated and engineered to accept the full range of waste gas compositions and flow rates generated by our customer`s manufacturing process.

A PCC Flameless Thermal Oxidizer perfectly mixes waste gas, air, and fuel gas. This allows excess oxygen to more successfully find and react with organic material in the gas mixture once preheated to each compounds auto-ignition temperature.
The flow through a PCC Flameless Thermal Oxidizer involves multiple seconds of residence time at high temperatures. Because perfect mixing has already been achieved, high gas velocities are not required. As a result, the flow through each unit can be slower leading to longer retention times for oxidation reactions to reach completion.
Each PCC Flameless Thermal Oxidizer operates with a completely uniform temperature profile that means the entire gas flow passes through a bed with a constant temperature profile to ensure that optimum destruction is achieved.
In a global economy with a number of potential control technologies to choose from, it is important for companies to understand their options. It is also important to recognize that environmental regulations can only get more stringent in the future. Forward-thinking companies with a strong sense of corporate social responsibility want the best available control technology (BACT) at their manufacturing facilities. The figures shown below compare the performance of common control technologies for gaseous waste streams with PCC`s Flameless Thermal Oxidizer.
A typical burner system can have hot spots within its flame that exceeds 3000°F. High flame temperatures, even for short residence times (msec), can cause large amounts of Thermal NOx to be generated.
PCC`s Flameless Thermal Oxidizer premixes waste gas with air and natural gas prior to treatment. The FTO`s operating temperature is lower and more uniform throughout the media bed which leads to NOx generation as low as 1 ppmv.
