Non-thermal system products:

  • NOx abatement system
  • Solvent recovery

Thermal Oxidisers

Regenerative Thermal Oxidisers (RTOs)

One of the most widely accepted air pollution control technologies across the industry is the Regenerative Thermal Oxidiser (RTO).

Why Choose RTO? 

  • Very versatile
  • Durable
  • Extremely efficient (heat recovery efficiency of up to 97%) – achieved through the storage of heat by dense ceramic stoneware
  • Ideal in low VOC concentrations
  • Suitable for extended continuous operations

Catalytic Oxidisers (CATOX)

A catalytic oxidiser, also known as CO, CATOX, CTO, RCO or CRO, is used to abate industrial exhaust streams that emit VOCs. Through catalytic oxidation, which occurs through a chemical reaction between the VOC hydrocarbon molecules and a precious-metal catalyst bed that is internal to the oxidiser system, the VOCs are converted to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Why Choose CATOX? 

  • Lower operating temperatures reduce energy consumption
  • Cost-saving
  • Flameless
  • Efficiencies of up to 99.99%
  • Eliminates as much as 99% of dangerous gases

Thermal Recuperative Oxidisers (TROs)

A less common pollution control equipment is the thermal recuperative oxidiser. Thermal recuperative oxidisers treat industrial emissions containing VOCs and particulates. Through thermal oxidation, the VOCs and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are converted into harmless carbon dioxide. TROs have a primary and/or secondary heat exchanger within the system, which preheats the chambers.

Why Choose TRO?

  • Cost-saving
  • Minimal heat required
  • No noise pollution
  • Designed with multiple safety features
  • Suitable for automatic and continuous operations

Direct Fired Thermal Oxidisers (DFTO) - Afterburner

Direct Fired Thermal Oxidisers utilises the simplest thermal oxidation technology. The DFTO destroys VOCs and HAPs through the process of combustion. Also called afterburners, these systems are the most inexpensive, but when applied incorrectly, the operating costs incurred can be hefty due to the lack of heat recovery.

Why Choose DFTO?

  • Typically the most affordable option
  • Long service life
  • Minimal noise pollution and heat emitted
  • No flame visibility and smokeless combustion
  • Designed with multiple safety features
  • Suitable for exhaust streams with very high concentrations of VOCs, HAPs, odours, or smoke

NOx Abatement Systems

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) NOx Reduction

In compliance with regulations, the high release of NOx into the atmosphere is prohibited as they are harmful greenhouse gases. Using a NOx abatement system, the NOx emissions are converted into harmless elements, such as oxygen, water and nitrogen. The abatement system consists of a NOx reducing catalyst and an ammonia injection system. Depending on the application, the catalyst can be modified.

Solvent Recovery Systems

Carbon Adsorber

A carbon adsorber is a popular choice among air pollution control technologies and utilises a filtration method. This equipment is used to abate VOCs in low concentration waste gas streams. Primarily, a carbon adsorber is chosen to achieve VOC abatement, no NOx and recovering solvents. 

As the gas flows through an activated carbon bed, the VOCs are trapped on its surface. The adsorption system can be used with various types of activated carbon that can be thermally or chemically activated to provide a large surface area.
