RTO with Heat Recovery System Sizing

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) are widely used in industrial processes to reduce air pollution and meet regulatory emissions requirements. RTOs are designed to destroy volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) generated from various industrial processes. The RTO system operates by heating and treating exhaust air to a high temperature, which converts VOCs and HAPs into carbon dioxide and water vapor.

One of the essential components of an RTO system is the heat recovery system. The heat recovery system recovers energy from the hot exhaust gas leaving the RTO and reuses it to preheat the incoming process air. This results in significant energy savings and reduced operating costs for the industrial facility.

Factors Affecting RTO with Heat Recovery System Sizing

• Process Airflow Rate: The RTO system’s size is primarily determined by the process airflow rate, which is the volume of air generated by the industrial process that needs to be treated by the RTO system.
• VOC Concentration: The concentration of VOCs in the process air affects the size of the RTO system, as higher VOC concentrations require more energy to be treated effectively.
• Temperature: The inlet temperature of the process air and the target temperature of the treated air impact the RTO’s heat recovery system’s sizing.
• Pressure Drop: The pressure drop across the RTO system affects the system’s sizing and overall energy consumption.
• Heat Recovery Efficiency: The efficiency of the RTO heat recovery system affects the energy savings achieved by the system and impacts the sizing requirements.
• Regulatory Emissions Requirements: The regulatory emissions requirements impact the RTO system’s design and sizing.
• Operating Schedule: The operating schedule of the industrial process and the RTO system affects the sizing and energy consumption of the system.

Design Considerations for RTO with Heat Recovery System Sizing

The design of an RTO system with a heat recovery system requires careful consideration of the factors outlined above. The following design considerations should be taken into account:

Selection of Ceramic Heat Exchange Media

The selection of the ceramic heat exchange media is critical to the performance of the RTO system. The heat exchange media must provide efficient heat transfer, low pressure drop, and be resistant to fouling and corrosion. The most commonly used ceramic heat exchange media include saddles, rings, and honeycombs.

Optimization of Heat Recovery Efficiency

The heat recovery efficiency of the RTO system is critical to achieving significant energy savings. The system’s design should optimize heat transfer and minimize pressure drop to achieve optimal heat recovery efficiency.

Control of Airflow and Temperature

The airflow and temperature of the process air and treated air should be carefully controlled to achieve optimal RTO system performance. Proper control of airflow and temperature can reduce energy consumption and improve system efficiency.

Integration with Process Air Handling System

The RTO system must be integrated with the process air handling system to ensure proper airflow and temperature control and to minimize pressure drop. The design of the RTO system should consider the process air handling system’s layout and requirements.

Consideration of Future Expansion

The RTO system’s design should consider the industrial facility’s future expansion plans to ensure that the system can accommodate future growth and changes in process requirements.

RTO with Heat Recovery System Sizing Conclusion

The design of an RTO system with a heat recovery system requires careful consideration of several factors, including process airflow rate, VOC concentration, temperature, pressure drop, heat recovery efficiency, regulatory emissions requirements, and operating schedule. The design considerations outlined above should be taken into account to achieve optimal RTO system performance, energy savings, and compliance with regulatory emissions requirements.
