Direct Fired Thermal Oxidizer for Oil & Gas Application with Variable Process Loads

Written By Jasper Johal

The Challenge

An oil and gas industry application needed a solution to meet new stringent air pollution regulations in order to continue operating.

The Solution

Epcon designed  large Direct Fired Thermal Oxidizer was custom designed for an oil and gas application, with extremely tight operating requirements, achieving  99.99% DRE.  The control strategy of the system is sophisticated, operating between high, medium and low flow rates, and features an emergency back up unit, with redundant controls and specially-designed detonation and flame arrestors as additional safety measures.

The Results

The installed unit is able to save on fuel as it is adjusted between various flow rates for fluctuations in VOC loading. In addition , the operation is almost 100% VOC and emission free – passing all regulatory compliance measures.
