Since the 1970s, food manufacturing facilities are responsible for controlling their dangerous gas emissions. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are some of the most common pollutants food factories and bakeries generate, and can severely hinder the environment if released into…
What does new car smell have in common with freshly baked bread? The same thing it has in common with diesel emissions, dry cleaning solution, a can of paint, and a vast majority of manufacturing emissions. All of these…
Today, we’re about to go back to class, exploring the basics of combustion, what it takes to achieve complete combustion, and why all of this is important to VOC abatement at manufacturing organizations.
What is Combustion?
In chemistry, combustion is a…
It’s no secret that manufacturing plants, such as paint mills, need to follow rigorous regulations when it comes to disposing of all their waste[1]. This includes the dangerous gas emissions known as volatile organic compounds or VOCs.
These air pollutants…
“If you know your enemies, and you know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.” These words by leading military strategist and inspiration for dozens of business books Sun Tzu are important for everything from business…
Continuing to expand their global presence, The CMM Group installed a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer in Dongguan, China when a Chinese manufacturer of evaporative cooling pads (used in the agriculture industry) approached them to destroy VOC emissions from the corrugating…
Located in Tianjin, China, one of the world’s leading petro-chemical companies needed to destroy VOC emissions from their purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant.
The emissions that resulted from the manufacturing process included methyl acetate, xylene, benzene, methyl bromide, methanol, and…
The Basic RTO Design Concept:
Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers destroy VOC emissions by creating a chemical reaction within the air pollutant and oxygen at elevated temperatures.
This reaction destroys VOC emissions in the air stream by converting them to gas, water and…
A Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) is an industrial system that destroys volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in process exhaust air before it exits the stack and pollutes the environment. Historically, RTOs have been used extensively in industries producing a high…
Pollutant Destruction Phase
1. The process begins with a high-pressure supply fan that forces exhaust fumes into the Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer.
2. Inlet switch valves direct the pollutant-laden air into one of the energy recovery canisters.
3. The air continues to travel…
