Features and Operation of an Anguil Emission Concentrator - Video

This short, animated video shows how the Anguil Emission Concentrator captures process emissions from industrial sources, concentrates the large volume, low concentration flows into a much smaller, highly concentrated air stream for treatment by thermal oxidation. The addition of a concentrator can reduce the size of a combustion device by 90-95% of the original footprint, providing substantial reduction in system cost and energy consumption.

The high volume, low concentration airstream passes through a rotor concentrator where Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) are stripped from the air and adsorbed onto the zeolite. The majority (approximately 90-95% of the total air volume) of this clean air is then exhausted to atmosphere. A small portion of the air stream (approximately 5-10% of the total air volume) is heated to an elevated temperature to be used as desorption air.

The concentrator rotor spins continuously at a very slow rate, transporting adsorbed pollutants into a desorption section. In the desorption section, the VOCs are desorbed or released from the adsorptive media with the low volume heated airstream. This low volume, high VOC-laden air is then processed by an oxidizer.
