FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Catalytic Oxidizer by Glenro Eliminates VOCs and Odor from Exhaust Air Stream

. . . Exhaust Heat Recuperation Boosts Efficiency and Cuts Operating Costs

PATERSON, NEW JERSEY, Jan. 29 -/E-Wire/-- Glenro Inc. has introduced a new 3000 scfm catalytic oxidation system that cost-effectively removes multiple solvents and odors from a process exhaust stream. The oxidizer destroys a combination of aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, esters and non-volatile vegetable oil at the rate of 13.3 lbs./hr.

Catalytic oxidation systems are used when the solvent content of an exhaust stream is not sufficient to oxidize without adding excessive energy to the process. Using a catalyst chamber in an oxidation system allows VOC destruction at considerably lower temperatures than a direct-fired oxidation process would require, which saves on fuel costs. The new Glenro system is designed to maintain catalyst temperature at 750-800Â°F, which ensures complete destruction of solvents, oils, and related odors to meet air quality regulations. The system further reduces fuel consumption by using an air-to-air exhaust preheat heat exchanger subsystem, which recovers exhaust heat for use in preheating the solvent-laden air before it enters the burner chamber. As the system reaches operating temperature, the oxidizer burner automatically throttles back to allow the solvents to serve as part of the fuel source for their own destruction.

The new oxidation system measures 18' long by 6' wide by 12' high, including heat exchanger, ductwork, supply blower, and the system's steel skid mounting. The system's primary energy source is a gas burner rated at 1,500,000 Btu/hr., which is fed by a complete IRI approved safety gas train that is supplied as part of the design. Built of heavy-gauge stainless steel, the system is shipped pre-wired and pre-piped for easy installation. Controls are provided in a NEMA 4 enclosure, which includes all system controls, operator interface components and safety checks. A two-pen recording indicating temperature controller is employed to provide a continuous record of temperatures both before and after the catalyst chamber.

Headquartered in Paterson, New Jersey, Glenro Inc. provides process heating engineering and equipment for a wide range of industries and applications. Glenro's air pollution control equipment includes recuperative thermal oxidizers, recuperative catalytic oxidizers, regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTO) and drying ovens with integrated fume oxidizers. Glenro serves customers through a nationwide network of sales offices.
