Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) Incinerator


Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) Incinerator

Introduction:

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer(rto) is a kind of organic waste gas treatment equipment for medium and high concentration. The regenerative incinerator oxidizes the organic matter (VOCs) in the waste gas into corresponding carbon dioxide and water at high temperature, thereby purifying the waste gas and recovering the heat released when the waste gas is decomposed. The three-chamber rto waste gas decomposition efficiency reaches more than 99%. The heat recovery efficiency reaches more than 95%, the operating cost is low, and it can handle low-concentration exhaust gas with large air volume. When the concentration is slightly higher, it can also perform secondary waste heat recovery, which greatly reduces production and operation costs. The main structure of rto is composed of combustion chamber, regenerator and switching valve.


Application:

Coating industry, Printing industry, Painting industry, Pharmaceutical Chemicals, Paint and ink manufacturing, Circuit board production etc.

Working Princple

The exhaust gas with VOC enters the rto. In the preheating chamber, the honeycomb ceramic BODy preheats the exhaust gas to above 760°C, and stays in the oxidation chamber for about 1.0s. VOC is oxidized into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) by oxygen in a high temperature environment. , heat is released during the oxidation process, which further increases the temperature of the exhaust gas. The burner controls the minimum temperature of the oxidation chamber to not be lower than 820°C, and then passes through the regenerator, and the ceramic BODy absorbs the heat of the high-temperature gas to prepare for the next cycle to preheat the exhaust gas. , the cooled flue gas is discharged from the chimney to the atmosphere.

Each regenerator goes through the process of heat storage-release-purge in turn, reciprocating and working continuously; due to the existence of the third chamber, the switching of airflow is more stable. Part of the treated clean exhaust is replaced by VOC before the blower, and the regenerator is purged. After the cleaning is completed, it enters the heat storage program, which eliminates the instantaneous direct discharge state of the two-chamber rto, making the purification efficiency reach More than 99%.

Components Functions
Upper chamber It provides time for the oxidation of organic matter, and also has the function of heat storage and heat release.
Lower chamber Bear the load of the upper chamber, control the flow direction of the exhaust gas and flow out of the regenerator.
Burning system Provide heat for the temperature rise of the system startup process and the heat balance of the operation process.
Blower Provide sufficient power for the gas to overcome system resistance
Overtemperature relief device Mix high-temperature gas with low-temperature gas to prevent the high-temperature gas from softening the air duct and scalding the insulation cotton
Intake device Dilute high-concentration organic waste gas and filter tiny particles in the waste gas
Chimney Since the treatment efficiency cannot reach 100%, the treated waste gas must be led to high altitude
