Thermal Oxidizers

Thermal oxidizers are a type of industrial equipment used in manufacturing and other industrial processes to reduce emissions of harmful organic solvents, air pollutants, and other industrial emissions. Using extreme high temperatures to trigger a combustion reaction, the emissions undergo thermal oxidization, transforming the complex organic solvents into CO2 and H2O.
Oxidizers, also known as incinerators or after-burners, are used at many manufacturing facilities worldwide. During the manufacturing process for tape or adhesives, as an example, solvents are released into the air, collected and transported via large industrial ductwork powered by large fans, until they reach their target destination: a thermal oxidizer. The contaminated gases pass through a temperature-controlled environment, which is powered by a burner and combustion blower, reaching temperatures around 1400°F - 1450°F.
