Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO) are waste gas incinerators that employ multiple beds of ceramic media that absorb heat from the exhaust gas and use this captured heat to preheat the incoming process streams. RTO’s are often used in applications such as at paint booths, printing mills, and paper mills which produce low VOC concentrations in relatively higher flow rates. This technology eliminates these streams in a highly efficient and cost effective manner while minimizing the need for fuel gas. Moreover, they can acheive ~99% destruction efficiency with 95% heat recovery.
Recuperative Thermal Oxidizers are complex incineration systems that employ shell and tube heat exchangers, boilers, or hot oil heaters to recover energy from high temperature flue gases. These systems can utilize a recuperative cycle to minimize fuel gas consumption, allowing for economical operation. Moreover, this type of equipment is ideal for sensitive areas that require heat recovery, extremely low emissions, minimal noise, and smokeless combustion. Catalytic and combination thermal/catalytic versions of this equipment are also available from Flare Industries.
