Overall Solution for VOCs Waste Gas Treatment in the Film Coating Industry

RT solutions for coating industry

Treatment Target

  • Organized emission <50 mg (non-methane total hydrocarbons);
  • Energy saving, only use natural gas to start the furnace!
  • Unorganized within the factory: non-methane total hydrocarbons <10mg/m3;
  • After treatment, chimney emission indicators: nitrogen oxides <50mg/m3;

Collection of VOCS Exhaust Gas in Film Coating Plant

  • Oven cross ventilation

The low-concentration exhaust gas from the rear oven is sent to the fresh air inlet of the front oven as fresh air, and is generally not passed into the first 2-3 high-concentration ovens. This method can reduce the exhaust volume of the coating machine.

  • Coating head/glue room connected to oven in series

The low-concentration exhaust gas from the coating head/glue preparation room is sent into the fresh air inlet of the oven by a fan and used as fresh air for the oven (generally not passed into the high-concentration ovens in the first two sections). This method can reduce the exhaust volume of the coating head and glue preparation room, and avoid the low-concentration exhaust gas from entering the RTO to dilute the total concentration.

Emissions of Exhaust Gas from Thin Film Coating VOCS

RTO solutions for coating industry

For example, a coating machine has 8 ovens, the total exhaust volume of the ovens is 10,000 m3/h, and the average temperature of the ovens is 140°C (the average temperature of the high and low temperature zones of the 8 ovens). Then the energy consumption of the oven of a coating machine is
