Thermal Oxidizer Removes VOCs from Process Exhaust. . . Heat Recovery Adds Even Greater Efficiency

NEW JERSEY, PATERSON, Jan. 3 -/E-Wire/-- This direct fired recuperative thermal oxidizer, designed and manufactured by Glenro Inc., is being used to clean a manufacturing exhaust stream that contains organic hydrocarbon contaminants. The oxidizer system not only processes 21,000 scfm of exhaust, but also uses primary and secondary heat recovery subsystems to recapture a large amount of heat energy for reuse in the process.

Oxidizers have become many manufacturers' method for meeting the challenges of increasingly stringent environmental controls on atmospheric release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from their manufacturing processes. In the Glenro oxidizer, process exhaust is ducted to a combustion chamber, where a burner raises the air stream to a prescribed temperature. Contaminants burn to harmless products of combustion. Once the oxidizer reaches operating temperature, solvents in the exhaust stream ignite and begin to serve as a heat source for their own destruction. The more solvent present in the exhaust, the lower the oxidizer's fuel requirements.

As an added benefit, the new Glenro oxidizer includes primary and secondary heat recovery capability. The primary recovery subsystem preheats the oxidizer's inlet air stream before it goes to the combustion chamber, which results in significant energy savings. The secondary heat recovery system, which includes an insulated air mixing enclosure, mixes a controlled portion of the clean, hot, oxidized exhaust air with room air to supply energy to a process oven. The remainder is used to fire a waste heat boiler that produces steam.

The oxidizer is constructed of high-grade stainless steel and other heavy-duty materials for long service life. The system was shipped prewired, prepiped, and skid mounted for easy handling and installation. The system includes insulated ductwork.

Headquartered in Paterson, New Jersey, Glenro Inc. provides process heating engineering and equipment for a wide range of industries and applications. Glenro serves customers through a nationwide network of sales offices.
