The Anguil Catalytic Recuperative Oxidizer destroys Hazardous
Air Pollutants (HAPs), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and
odorous emissions that are often discharged from industrial
processes. The air pollution control device achieves emission
destruction at significantly lower temperatures than thermal
oxidation through the use of catalyst, converting pollutants to
carbon dioxide, water vapor and heat.
How the Catox Works
VOC and HAP laden process gas is either pushed or pulled into a
metal heat exchanger inside the oxidizer via a system fan.
The contaminated airstream is progressively heated while traveling
through the heat exchanger towards the combustion chamber. At
the burner, the process gas is raised to the catalyst operating
temperature. As the heated gas passes through the catalyst,
an exothermic (heat releasing) reaction takes place. The
pollutants are converted to carbon dioxide, water vapor and
heat.
Once oxidized across the catalyst, the hot, purified air passes
through the opposite side of the heat exchanger and releases
thermal energy to preheat the incoming air. The heat
exchanger reduces the auxiliary fuel requirement, thus saving
operating cost, allowing self-sustaining operation with no
auxiliary fuel usage at Lower Explosive Limits (LEL) levels of
8-12%. Finally, the cooler, purified air is exhausted to the
atmosphere through the system stack.
