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.
Flare Industries’ Lo-NOx thermal oxidation technology is used to destroy a wide range of gas that may generate large quantities of NOx when combusted. This cutting edge technology employs multiple combustion chambers, air and water quenches, advanced refractory materials, a proprietary burner design, and a complex PLC driven control scheme. The Lo-NOx thermal oxidizer provides high destruction efficiency, low emissions, and significantly reduced NOx levels in efforts to comply with local and state environmental regulations.
