Direct Thermal Oxidation
Reliable VOC Destruction & Emission Control
Effectively destroy volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants with our high-efficiency Direct Thermal Oxidizers. Built for simple operation and superior performance.
Why Choose Direct Thermal Oxidizers?
Direct Thermal Oxidizers provide straightforward and reliable VOC destruction by applying high heat to contaminated air streams. Ideal for processes with high solvent concentrations, these systems offer exceptional removal efficiency without the need for complex media or catalysts.
Key Applications
-
VOC & HAP Destruction
-
Chemical & Petrochemical Processing
-
Industrial Manufacturing Facilities
-
Paint, Coating, and Printing Operations
How Do Direct Thermal Oxidizers Work?
At the core of our system is a high-temperature combustion chamber. Process air containing VOCs is heated to temperatures sufficient for oxidation—typically between 1,400°F and 1,800°F. This converts harmful compounds into harmless CO₂ and water vapor, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
Thermal Efficiency & Energy Recovery
For improved energy efficiency, our systems can incorporate Air-to-Air Heat Exchangers. These units recover heat from the exhaust gas to preheat the incoming air, significantly reducing fuel consumption and operating costs.
