Direct Fired Thermal Oxidizer for VOCs Emissions in Chemical Processing Facility

The Challenge

A Chemical company needed a more efficient system for destroying process emissions from various sources with high VOC loading.

The Solution

Epcon manufactured a 3000 SCFM Direct Fired Thermal Oxidizer (DFTO) for this chemical company to process emissions from various sources with high VOC loading. After analyzing the process, our engineers were able to dilute the air and alter the operating conditions, bringing the fuel consumption close to zero.

The Results

The satisfied customer was very pleased with the system performance and fuel efficiency as the new integrated system eliminated almost all the operating fuel cost previously needed for the air pollution control system. The air pollution control system not only destroyed the complex VOCs in the process and kept the operations above compliance, but improved the operations bottom line.
