Honeycat - Catalytic Oxidation System

These include

• Very high surface to volume ratio using metal and ceramic monoliths
• Low resistance to gas flow with more than 90 percent open area
• Very high intrinsic activity from the use of Platinum Group Metals
• The ability to withstand high temperatures and temperature cycling
• maximum 650°C continuous
• peaks to 725°C
• High poison resistance and the ability to chemically wash the catalysts
• Long effective life
• Typically five to seven years
• Up to 10 years for many applications
• Range of catalyst types
• Economic recovery of the catalyst due to the PGM value
• Standard VOC oxidation catalyst
• Chlorinated VOC catalyst
• LHC catalyst for methane, ethane, propane
• Sulphur-resistant catalyst.

The benefits of Air Protekt’s Honeycat catalytic oxidation system design solutions include:

• Flowrates that can be treated in a single catalytic oxidiser range from 10m3/hr to 60,000m3/hr
• Catalyst modules for installation into existing process exhausts, utilising only the process temperature and pressure (eg ovens, kilns and out-of-compliance thermal oxidisers)
• Concentrator plus catalytic oxidiser
• VOC concentrations between 600 and 2,000mg/m3
• flowrates up to 300,000m3/hr
• Secondary heat recovery for space heating:
• steam
• hot oil
• hot water
• hot air
• Abatement of a wide range of chemicals:
• light hydrocarbons
• carbon monoxide
• chlorinated and non-chlorinated VOCs
• sulphated organics
• Low fuel costs – often no fuel is required during continuous operation
• A range of fuels can be used:
• electricity
• natural gas
• or propane to light fuel oil
• Flexibility of operation (continuous to intermittent)
• warm-up times of 30 minutes or less
