Catalytic Oxidizers

New CATOX Project?
Help With An Existing CATOX?

A catalytic oxidizer uses a catalyst to oxidize VOCs at lower temperatures (typically 600-650°F) compared to thermal oxidizers. This results in lower fuel consumption while achieving high VOC destruction efficiency, making it suitable for applications with clean airstreams.

Catalytic Oxidizer FAQs

All FAQs

What’s the difference between a thermal oxidizer and a catalytic oxidizer?

A conventional thermal oxidizer uses high temperature to destroy VOCs. A catalytic oxidizer uses a catalyst to complete the reaction at a lower temperature, reducing fuel use when the exhaust is compatible with the catalyst. Learn more about thermal oxidizers vs. catalytic oxidizers.

What is a catalytic oxidizer and what does it do?

Catalytic Recuperative Oxidizers destroy pollutants discharged in the exhaust air of industrial processes. They achieve high VOC destruction efficiency by heating and maintaining a polluted airstream at temperature (typically 600 to 650F) for a set “dwell” time as it passes through catalyst material. The lower operating temperature of a catalytic oxidizer results in much lower fuel use than thermal recuperative oxidizers. VOC destruction efficiency can reach 99+%. Catalytic oxidizers can operate with an integral heat exchanger for fuel savings, or for a lower capital cost, without a heat exchanger. Learn more here.‍

Is a catalytic oxidizer the most cost-effective oxidizer solution for my airstream?

It depends on numerous factors. See Selecting an Oxidizer for guidance or call us for guidance.
