The Anguil skid mounted Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) comes completely assembled and factory tested, minimizing installation and start-up time. These prepackaged units, ranging in size from 1,000 to 12,000SCFM, achieve up to 99% destruction rate efficiency of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). In addition, the Anguil RTO has 95% thermal efficiency, operating fuel free at 3% + L.E.L. loadings, resulting in lower operating costs. Process gas with VOC contaminants enters the Twin Bed RTO through an inlet manifold. A flow control valve directs this gas into an energy recovery chamber which preheats the process stream. The process gas and contaminants are progressively heated in the stoneware bed as they move toward the combustion chamber.

The VOCs are then oxidized, releasing energy in the second stoneware bed, thereby reducing any auxiliary fuel requirement. The stoneware bed is heated and the gas is cooled so that the outlet gas temperature is only slightly higher than the inlet temperature. The flow control valve switches and alternates the stoneware beds so each is in inlet and outlet mode. If the process gas contains enough VOCs, the energy released from their combustion allows self-sustained operation. For example, at 95% thermal energy recovery, the outlet temperature may be only 77° (25°) higher than the inlet process gas temperature.

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer Systems include system fan, motor, burner, heat exchange media, flow control valves, PLC based system controls, temperature recorder and exhaust stack. The system has a ceramic fiber-lined, steel outer skin and an access platform for servicing burner components.
