RTO

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO)

What is an RTO:
Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) are a type of industrial equipment used for air pollution control.

They are specifically designed to treat volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and other air pollutants generated by industrial processes.

The regenerative thermal incinerator designed by RuiDing can also be coupled with wave-liquid synergistic treatment and efficient waste heat recovery functions, resulting in lower NOx emissions. The unique continuous reverse-burning bed design enables the stable long-term operation of impurity-containing exhaust gas treatment.

theory

The RTO is comprised of insulated chambers filled with high-temperature ceramic media. During operation, the polluted air enters the oxidizer through an energy recovery chamber, where the ceramic media preheats it before introducing it to the oxidation chamber. As the air moves through the bed, its temperature rises rapidly. The oxidation reaction takes place in the combustion chamber, converting the pollutant-laden air into CO2 and water vapor, releasing a significant amount of thermal energy.

The hot, clean gas exits through the second recovery bed, leaving the heat in the ceramic media. In the next cycle, the process stream flows in reverse, utilizing the stored heat to preheat the incoming air. By periodically switching the inlet, outlet, and purge processes, the flow changes direction in the oxidizer, completing the preheating, oxidation, heat storage, and release stages. This heat storage process allows the thermal energy released during oxidation to be reused, reducing fuel consumption for preheating.

To maintain optimal heat recovery efficiency, the direction of the process stream is regularly switched using automatic diverter valves controlled by the PLC system.

ADVANTAGES

  • No high-temperature flame combustion zone, flameless combustion, resulting in low combustion noise and uniform temperature inside the furnace. This not only improves purification efficiency but also extends the furnace's lifespan.
  • PLC automatic combustion control ensures a high level of automation, stable operation, and high safety reliability.
  • The heat storage chamber utilizes ceramic materials for direct graded heat exchange, leading to a uniform temperature increase. This strengthens heat transfer inside the furnace, allowing for a reduction in the incinerator's volume. This significantly lowers equipment costs, minimizes land footprint, and maximally reduces construction and installation expenses.
  • RuiDing's designed RTO employs an innovative three-chamber heat storage system, providing a furnace with high radiation temperature and pressure, rapid heating, remarkable low-temperature heat exchange effects, and maximum recovery of sensible heat in combustion products. The result is high thermal efficiency, low exhaust temperatures, and notable energy savings.
  • RuiDing possesses a technologically advanced engineering analysis service laboratory equipped with cutting-edge equipment. This laboratory can analyze and detect various critical parameters of hazardous waste, offering customers exclusive solutions tailored to their specific needs and waste conditions.
