Media replacement is commonly performed on Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) when the media becomes plugged from contaminates in the process stream fed to the RTO. Anguil Environmental Systems frequently replace media in both Anguil manufactured and non-Anguil manufactured systems.
The Challenge
Anguil Environmental Systems recently completed an emergency media replacement on two Megtec Cleanswitch Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) for a world-wide automobile supplier.
The Solution
Both systems were 65,000 SCFM (104,325 Nm3/hr) units and built by another supplier previously for two different automotive facilities in the United States.
Anguil was chosen to replace the RTO media for this world-wide automobile supplier over the original supplier based on our competitive pricing and timely responsiveness.
The Result
One of the RTOs was extremely difficult to access being located on a three-story roof and a considerable distance away from the building’s exterior wall. Replacement of the media required removal of the upper half of the RTO and use of a high lift crane to accommodate the heights and distances involved.
At the other facility where production uptime was critical, Anguil’s crew worked double shifts to complete the work over a weekend so that the production was not affected.
Anguil completed the projects early and under budget due to proper planning and customer communication.
