What is Oxidation?
Definition CnH2m (n m/2) O2 ? n
CO2 mH2O heat
Temperature Based on the VOCs that need to be
destroyed there is a temperature at which the
compounds can be oxidized. Time Relates to how
long a compound needs to be at a certain
temperature in order for it to be oxidized.
Turbulence A fixed condition built into the
equipment design that ensures a proper mixture of
VOCs and oxygen for combustion.
Specific compounds and desired destruction rate
efficiency determine temperature and residence
time. Proper Oxidation converts hydrocarbons to
CO2 and H2O (vapor).

• Multi-Layered Media
• Style and Size Options

16
Media Installation / Replacement

• Heat Recovery Media
• Multi-Layered Media
• / Block Media
• Random Media

17
Option Supplemental Fuel Injection (SFI)

• Why Use Supplemental Fuel Injection?
• Reduces combustion air- flow, lowering operating
  costs
• Lower pilot rate for large burners
• Ultralow NOx emissions

18
Insulation

2

• Anguils Technique
• Provides cooler outer skin temperatures
• Reduces risk of outer skin hot spots

InsulationCombustion Chamber
20
Option Puff / Purge Chamber

• A three way poppet valve and purge chamber is
  installed at the RTO outlet
• Used for visible emissions, odorous emissions
  or higher DRE
• Captures uncontrolled VOC emissions during
  valve switch and routes them back to fan inlet

21
Option Multi-Chamber RTO

• Six controlled butterfly valves
• Third can is purged following valve change to
  direct untreated VOCs into purification chamber
• 90 second cycle time per bed
• Shorter cycle time leads to higher thermal
  efficiency
• Higher destruction efficiencies than 2 chamber
  design
• Higher capital cost than 2 chamber

Concentrators

• Technology Applicability
• Airflows gt 5,000 SCFM. Lower flow rates
  generally make this technology uneconomical.
• Inlet Temperature lt 100ºF (40ºC)
• VOC Concentrations lt 500 ppm. Higher
  concentrations reduce concentration factor making
  this technology uneconomical.
• DREs lt 99
• Relative Humidity lt 90

27
What Does A Concentrator Do?
ANGUIL
28
How Do They Work?
ANGUIL

• Adsorption process gas flows into this section
  where the VOCs are adsorbed onto the zeolite.
  The purified process gas leaving this section is
  directed into the exhaust stack

29
How Do They Work?
ANGUIL

• Cooling A small volume of process gas is passed
  through this section of the wheel to cool the
  zeolite. This preheated process gas is then sent
  to a heat exchanger or another heat source and
  used as the desorption gas. This volume of gas
  for cooling is related to the concentration
  factor. With a 101 Concentration factor, 10 of
  the process gas is used for cooling/desorption.

30
How Do They Work?
ANGUIL

• Desorption A small volume of process gas is
  heated and used to desorb the VOCs from the
  wheel.

31
Concentrator Applicability
ANGUIL

• Airflows gt 5,000 SCFM (7,900 Nm³/h).
• Inlet Temperature lt 100ºF (40ºC)
• VOC Concentrations lt 500 ppmv.
• DRE lt 99
• Relative Humidity lt 90
• The higher the VOC boiling point, the better it
  adsorbs and the harder it is to desorb
• Must be a liquid at room temperature in order to
  adsorb
• Appropriate Solvents

32
Components Wheel
ANGUIL

• Honeycomb structure minimizes pressure drop,
  operating costs
• Impregnated with adsorbent material Zeolite or
  Carbon

• Consists of aluminum, silicon and oxygen
• Hydrophobic zeolite must be synthesized
