HiTemp - Recuperative Catalytic Oxidizer (RCO) Systems

HiTemp manufactures RCO systems that use an Air to Air preheat exchanger and a precious metal catalyst bed, allowing oxidation to occur at approximately 550-600oF (288-315oC). This lower temperature requirement reduces the amount of natural gas needed to fuel the VOC abatement system and the overall size of the incinerator. Catalysts typically used for VOC incineration include platinum and palladium. If design conditions are satisfied, typically no pre-treatment is required, however, in some cases, particulate matter removal may be necessary before the waste gas enters the incinerator. This is critical for both RCOs and RTOs as both require periodic cleaning. Periodic maintenance for cleaning the catalyst bed of an RCO can be accomplished using a high pressure shop vac. Unlike a HiTemp RCO, our competitors` RTO systems require a complete disassembly of the packing media for cleaning, which increases system maintenance cost and downtime.
