Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO)
A regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) is an air pollution control device that destroys VOCs and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in industrial exhaust air. By using regenerative heat recovery, it achieves high fuel efficiency, often operating with 95% heat recovery.

FAQs
Please check our RTO Inventory...Quality-built refurbished regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) systems have a long life, can save 40% vs. new units, and have performance and parts warranties comparable to new systems.
TOX typically have a 0.5 second to 1.0 second dwell time for most applications.
Typically 1400 F minimum up to 1550 F depending upon the VOC characteristics.
Solvents with a high boiling point can build up on a forced draft fan wheel
The term “regenerative” in regenerative thermal oxidizer is drawn from the type of ceramic media heat exchanger used in these systems. It is unique in that it captures heat from the exhausting, clean airstream during one cycle and releases the heat to the incoming, dirty airstream in the next cycle. The heat is captured (and released) from beds of ceramic media. The RTO incorporates switching valves to cycle the direction of the airflow through the RTO heat exchanger beds to enable regenerative heat recovery.
