Catalytic oxidizer removes multiple solvents
Glenro, Inc., 888/453-6761, fax: 973/279-9103, www.glenro.com
The new 3000-scfm catalytic oxidation system removes multiple solvents and odors from a process exhaust stream. The oxidizer destroys a combination of aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, esters and non-volatile vegetable oil at the rate of 13.3 lbs/hr. This new system maintains catalyst temperature at 750-800 deg F, which ensures complete destruction of solvents, oils, and related odors to meet air-quality regulations. The system also reduces fuel consumption by using an air-to-air exhaust preheat heat exchanger subsystem, which recovers exhaust heat for use in preheating solvent-laden air before it enters the burner chamber.

Thermal oxidizer controls VOC
Anguil Environmental Systems, 414/365-6400, fax: 414/365-6410, www.anguil.com
The Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) is used by converters to control volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from coaters, laminators and printing processes. The operation of the RTO is transparent to the process units so that converters have minimal labor required to keep their processes in eco-compliance. The RTO provides for high thermal and VOC destruction efficiency, compact design and a competitive capital cost for VOC control.

Destroys VOCs without flush chambers
MEGTEC Systems, 800/862-6943, www.megtec.com
The CleanSwitch™ RTO is the first unit to guarantee 99+ percent standard VOC destruction efficiency without flush chambers, says co. Its switch valve keeps treated air separate from dirty process air. No significant amount of untreated air escapes when flow direction changes. The CleanSwitch's modular design provides operating economy with thermal efficiencies up to 97 percent, claims co. Under normal conditions, the unit runs without additional fuel.

Analyzer detects various pollutant levels
SICK MAIHAK, Inc., 952/941-6780, fax: 952/941-9287, www.sickmaihak.com
The GM35 multi-component analyzer measures the concentration of CO, CO2 and H2O as well as the temperature in gas ducts continuously or as individual measurements, depending on the device variant. The GM35 detects and quantifies pollutants and reference components in flue gases and industrial gas/solid mixtures.

System reduces large exhaust volumes
American Environmental International, Inc., 800/343-8601, fax: 847/342-8500, www.aei-inc.com
The Mark II Odorkleen carbon-adsorption system features a concentrator that reduces large exhaust volumes from the process to very small air volume. This cuts capital costs for the VOC emission control system. The Mark II also features up to 99.9 percent VOC control efficiency, EPA compliance in writing, and complete turnkey installation.
