Regenerative oxidation

Process principle

First of all, the contaminated air is drawn in through the process fan and heated with the aid of an electric heater or gas burner to the required reaction temperature. Subsequently, the pollutants are converted into carbon dioxide and water in the combined reactor and heat storage bed. The emitted heat from the reactor is passed over a second bed and is stored there. After the storage bed is heated up, the process air direction is changed. The stored heat is used to preheat the process gas stream and afterwards the pollutants are oxidized in the first bed. In the next stages of the operation, it is cyclically switched between these states.

NEW - Regenerative Thermal Oxidation Systems

Serie RTNV-ESN-XEnergy saving, low height construction
Ideal for all large-scale manufacturers / system engineers
Drawing: Reactor
Functioning:
Purification of VOC-loaded exhaust air

Clean gas values according to guidelines of the German air quality control (TA-Luft)
Advantages of the energy saving, low height construction of Prantner:
-    can easily be integrated in production plants where VOCs have to

     be eliminated. Ideal for large-scale manufacturers of drying and coating 

     systems, due to cartridge construction

-    can also be installed in rooms with very low hight

-    easy maintainance through optimized heat storage handling

-    improved static load per area unit

-    secure access to components that need to be maintained

-    external installation possible without any problems
Proceeding:
The process gas is lead through a pipe system with integrated switching mechanism to the horizontal reactor. After passing the heat storage, the process gas enters the combustion chamber. Here it is heated up to the necessary reaction temperature with a gas burner so that harmful substances of the process air can be oxidized. After the oxidation, the purified air leaves the reactor while giving heat to the heat storage and then reaches the outside through the pipelines.    

After a determined period of time, the flow direction in the reactor is reversed to achieve an increase of the energy efficiency by using the heat energy of the heat storage. Thus, the power needed for operating the gas burner is reduced to a minimum. 

Innovation:
Our customers benefit from the RTNV-ESN-X system by saving space and energy. This space saving solution was implemented through a process optimated concept, special high-temperature resistant materials, components and insulation. With its wide range of integration possibilities, the RTNV-ESN-X system offers substantial advantages to all large-scale manufacturers / system engineers who have to eliminate VOCs according to the German air quality control (TA-Luft). Also for existing systems that need an upgrade to fulfil the air quality requirements, the RTNV-ESN-X system is the right choice.
