Aereon Firecat - Thermal Oxidizers Combustion Devices
AEREON’s FIRECAT Thermal Oxidizers are combustion devices that maintain a specific destruction temperature and residence time to ensure thorough destruction efficiencies (98 - 99.9%). A FIRECAT system precisely monitors and controls the flow of air, assist gas, in order to obtain prescribed temperatures in the combustion chamber. This type of equipment is ideal for sensitive areas that require low emissions, reduced flame visibility, minimal heat and noise, ease of emissions sampling, and smokeless combustion.
AEREON’s Flare Industries’ FIRECAT Thermal Oxidizers are enclosed flares that incinerate the process or waste stream while maintaining a precise destruction temperature. The control scheme for this type of enclosed flare precisely monitors and controls a blower, assist gas, and combustion chamber temperature. This control system consists of a PLC, UV scanner, thermocouples, pressure switches, and a multitude of other control components depending on the complexity of the system.
The thermal oxidizer is ideal for sensitive areas due to the following benefits: reduced flame visibility, minimal heat and noise, emissions sampling ease, and smokeless combustion.
AEREON’s Flare Industries’ FIRECAT Thermal Oxidizer attains extremely high destruction efficiencies by assuring the required residence time at an exact temperature. Thermal oxidizers may require supplemental assist gas streams depending on whether the process stream can sustain combustion.
