RECUPERATIVE AND DIRECT THERMAL OXIDIZERS

Direct Thermal Oxidizers are composed of a main combustion chamber for the thermal oxidation of pollutants at high temperatures. Recuperative Thermal Oxidizers have an integrated heat exchanger to recover the heat from purified gas to pre-heat the exhaust gas inlet to the plant. The efficiency of the heat recovery can reach up to 65% reducing the amount of energy required by the system. Before releasing the hot cleaned air into the atmosphere, any residual heat can be used by a downstream heat recovery system. This allows the plant to produce hot water, thermal oil, hot air or steam based on the quantity and heating value of the pollutants. The recuperative thermal oxidation process is particularly cost-effective, when the energy extracted from the cleaned gas by the downstream heat recovery system can be reused in the production process.
