Description
VOC Thermal Oxidizer – an Afterburner for reducing Harmful Emissions
VOC thermal oxidizers have been used to mitigate harmful emissions from Aluminum heat exchanger production lines for decades. That same afterburner solution is now applied to aluminum coil annealing in Mass Flow and Vortex furnaces.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are a group of organic compounds which easily volatilize or vaporize with the presence of sunlight. At the same time, they release hazardous substances to the environment. VOC contain various chemicals. Some of them can have short- and long-term negative effects on health. Short-term effects on health include eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, coordination impairment and nausea. Long-term effects can cause serious liver, kidney and central nervous system failure. Long-term exposure to high concentrations of VOC can cause cancer. In a thermal afterburner, after heating up to an appropriate temperature, the VOC industrial contaminants act as fuel, sustaining the combustion reaction on their own. During the combustion process, the contaminants are chemically transformed into neutral by-products, such as water and carbon dioxide, that can be safely discharged as flue gas. Due to the high process temperature, thermal afterburners are usually fitted with an energy-recovery system. The heat-recovery systems make it possible to reduce energy consumption by up to 70%.
