Major Components of a Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer

Three parts make up the Oxidiser.

~    The Burner

~    The Combustion chamber

~    The Built in Heat Exchanger

 

 

 

The Burner, usually gas fired, is used to warm up the incoming contaminated emissions gas from the process stack, up to the respective oxidation temperature.

Oxidation takes place in a large combustion chamber, designed according to the volume of contaminated gas to be treated.

Turbulence is created inside the chamber in order to ensure a thorough mixture of VOC's with oxygen.

 

The Combustion Chamber, is constructed from special steel, suitable for high temperature operation.

Insulation is achieved with high-tech materials, without the need to use fire bricks, fire cement, or any other heavy fire proof material.

The Heat Exchanger, is arranged on the entry side of  the Oxidizer see schematic
