Low-Temperature VOC Destruction with High Efficiency
When volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are present at lower concentrations, catalytic oxidizers offer a powerful and energy-efficient solution. By leveraging specialized catalysts, these systems significantly reduce the combustion temperature—often down to 500–600°F (260–315°C)—which leads to lower operating costs and less fuel usage compared to direct thermal oxidation.
Catalytic oxidation is a proven method for treating air streams with VOC concentrations below 2,500 ppm. These systems convert harmful organics into harmless byproducts like CO₂ and water vapor, without requiring the high temperatures associated with traditional oxidizers.
NOₓ-Free Destruction: Special catalysts can destroy ammonia and other nitrogen compounds without generating nitrogen oxides.
Compact System Footprint: Ideal for facilities with limited space or moderate flow rates.
Flexible Configurations: Horizontal or vertical designs to match your system layout.
Reliable Emissions Control: Guaranteed destruction efficiency with proven performance.
How Catalytic Oxidizers Work
Catalytic oxidizers use a gas burner to preheat the process stream. As the gas passes through a catalyst bed, chemical reactions occur that oxidize VOCs into benign compounds at lower temperatures than traditional thermal oxidizers.
System Components:
Burner Unit: Provides supplemental heat as needed to reach catalyst activation temperature.
Catalyst Chamber: Where the oxidation reaction occurs; designed to maximize residence time and efficiency.
Heat Recovery: Optional air-to-air heat exchangers improve energy efficiency by preheating incoming air.
Optional Features
Air-to-air heat exchangers for enhanced energy recovery
Tail gas treatment systems
UL, FM, or other certified safety components
