Pollution Systems is the industry expert on thermal oxidizers. This video provides a detailed explanation of how thermal oxidizers work and their various applications.

Video Transcription:
Effective air pollution control systems are essential and required in today’s industrial landscape. Organizations are obligated to keep their facility in compliance with current regulations and to continually seek opportunities to reduce their environmental impact.

Pollutants like VOC’s, or volatile organic compounds, are emission issues that must be treated before being released to the earth’s atmosphere, and a common method to treat VOC’s is the use of a Thermal Oxidizer.

What are thermal oxidizers?

Thermal Oxidations can be likened to a burner in a box.
By burning, or heating up the VOC’s to a set point temperature, they are oxidized. This oxidation process breaks down the harmful particulates intoCO2 and water.

When do I need a Thermal Oxidizer?

Thermal Oxidizers work well with applications where particulates may be present or have higher concentrations of VOC’s. Also known as a fume incinerator, a Thermal Oxidizer, when designed properly, will treat a wide variety of process flow rates and VOC concentrations emitted from a facility.

How does the thermal oxidization process work?

It all starts with the chamber, which houses the heating element to burn the VOC’s. The chamber is heated to a set point temperature of approximately 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once the set point temperature is reached, the fumes are brought into the chamber through a system fan.

All VOC’s present are oxidized and are broken down into carbon dioxide and water vapor, which carries through the system and out the stack into the earth’s atmosphere.

Thermal Oxidizers are very effective, with a greater than 99% destruction rate, however, they are not as thermally efficient as alternatives.

A straight thermal oxidizer will lose all the heat energy employed during oxidation, however, there is a simple solution that modifies a straight thermal oxidizer and can make the system more energy efficient. By implementing a heat exchanger, existing heat can be captured or recuperated to be reused within the system.
