Regenerative thermal oxidation

Regenerative plants accumulate purified gas combustion heat in a ceramic bed, which is emitted at a later stage of the operation. In this way, the inert bed operating as a pre-heater and regenerator, depending on the air flow passing through, enables the recovery of up to 95% of the heat that is produced as a result of the oxidation reaction, thereby making it possible to drastically reduce the exploitation costs of these types of plants.

Combustion temperature in the compensation chamber is approximately 750°C.

The following are some of the usual types of equipment.

• Two chambers (with or without compensation chambers)
• Three chambers
• More than three chambers for the treatment of a large number of flows

Three-chamber equipments are usually used for cases requiring continual input without losing treatment capacity, as well as for cases requiring thermal destruction of halogenated solvents
