The Oil & Gas Industry relies heavily on barge, rail car, & truck loading to serve their manufacturing needs. These important vehicles emit toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through their tank venting process. Air Clear designs, installs, & maintains Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) to mitigate emissions & guarantee cost-effectiveness.
Air Clear’s Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer is designed specifically to eliminate VOCs with maximum efficiency:
Process Design Parameters Average:
- Process Flow (SCFM): 175
- (Dilution air is required for upset and high flow conditions)
- Process Temperature (ºF): 60-100 Fahrenheit
- Pollutant (lbs/hr): 0-193
- Total Average Heating Value of Pollutants (BTU/#): 21,500
- THERMOX Inlet Static Pressure (WC): -1WC
- Purification Temperature (ºF): ≥ 1,500
Maximum VOC Destruction Efficiency:
Air Clear’s Thermal Oxidizer is capable of converting 99 percent of the VOC’s to H20 & CO2. As a function of temperature, time at temperature, turbulence, & the combustion characteristics of the waste stream, performance tests indicate that Air Clear’s Thermal Oxidizer consistently exceeds guaranteed emissions removal standards.
Placing a dedicated VOC emission control device in a remote area would require unnecessary expense & continued maintenance. VOC pollution control systems in remote or harsh environments create immense risk, as reliable operations depend entirely on the control device. Air Clear specifically tailors Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers to be installed directly on barges, rail cars, & trucks. In effect, Air Clear can undermine risk of remote control equipment systems, destroy 99 percent of VOCs, & limit installation costs & ongoing maintenance.
