RTO with Heat Recovery Optimization

Úvod

The Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) system is designed to destroy organic compounds released during industrial processes before releasing them into the atmosphere. This system works by passing the contaminated air through a combustion chamber where it is mixed with fuel and burned at a high temperature, leading to the formation of carbon dioxide and water. However, the RTO system has high energy consumption, which makes it necessary to optimize the system to recover some of the heat generated during combustion. This article discusses the RTO with heat recovery optimization in detail.

What is RTO with Heat Recovery Optimization?

• RTO with heat recovery optimization is an industrial air pollution control system used to destroy volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) released during the industrial process.
• The system is designed to recover some of the heat generated during the combustion process, which reduces energy consumption and lowers operating costs.
• Heat recovery optimization is achieved by using a structured ceramic heat exchanger to preheat the incoming contaminated air before it enters the combustion chamber.

How does RTO with Heat Recovery Optimization Work?

• The contaminated air enters the heat exchanger where it is preheated by the hot air leaving the combustion chamber. This preheating reduces the amount of fuel required to burn the contaminated air, which in turn reduces energy consumption.
• The preheated contaminated air then enters the combustion chamber where it is mixed with fuel and burned at a high temperature of about 1500¡ãF to 1800¡ãF.
• During the combustion process, the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are destroyed, leading to the formation of carbon dioxide and water vapor.
• The hot air leaving the combustion chamber is then passed through the heat exchanger where it transfers its heat to the incoming contaminated air. This exchange of heat reduces the temperature of the outgoing air and recovers some of the heat generated during the combustion process.
