Depending on the nature of the vent stream to be controlled, addition of catalyst to a thermal oxidation system may be a means to further optimize operating costs of the compliance strategy. Epcon has successfully employed catalysts for Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO), Recuperative Thermal Oxidizers and Direct Fired Thermal Oxidizer configurations. Epcon designs thermal catalytic oxidizer systems to accept various types of catalysts. With our in-house catalyst experts, we can assure optimal catalyst selection and application to various process exhaust streams. Our experts work together with clients to understand the specific application requirements and working with global catalyst manufacturers match those requirements to the most appropriate catalyst type and control technology configuration. Epcon’s Thermal Catalytic Oxidizers convert process exhaust stream Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) into harmless amounts of carbon dioxide, water, and thermal energy, which are then safely discharged to the atmosphere. Catalytic Oxidation occurs through a chemical reaction between the VOC hydrocarbon molecules and a catalyst bed that is integrated with the oxidizer system. Catalytic treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other air pollutants functions by reacting the harmful air pollutants over the selected catalyst. The resultant oxidation reaction occurs at a lower temperature thanks to the contribution of the Catalyst. Products of this reaction are carbon dioxide, water vapor, and potentially usable heat. The lower temperature reaction reduces demand for supplemental fuel, driving significant operating cost savings.
