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
Yes, our RTOs are typically skid-mounted and pre-assembled to minimize field welding and on-site labor. This simplifies installation and helps reduce overall turnkey project costs.
Induced draft fans are often preferred when handling particulates and solvents with high boiling points, as these solvents can condense and build up on forced draft fan wheels, causing maintenance issues and reduced efficiency.
In most cases, yes. But proper evaluation is recommended to establish that no potential catalyst poisons or masking agents are present in your airstream.
Catalyst utilized in a regenerative catalytic oxidizer (RCO) allows chemical reactions to occur at lower temperatures (700-800F) than they occur in a thermal oxidizer (typical 1400-1450F) or an RTO (typical 1600F).

Typically 1400° F minimum up to 1550° F depending upon the VOC characteristics. Read more in Operating Temperatures of Different Oxidizers.
