While air pollution regulations have remained fairly static, equipment upgrades continue to minimize compliance woes.

Catalytic Products’ solution: the QUADRANT SR-Silicone Series Thermal Oxidizer. This unit replaced two older-style, square-box-designed thermal oxidizers and exceeded the local CAA requirements by providing 99.9 percent destruction of all VOCs.

What’s new?

• Glenro has introduced a new 3000 scfm catalytic oxidation system that removes multiple solvents and odors from a process exhaust stream at the rate of 13.3 lbs./hr. Its primary energy source is a gas burner, which is fed by a complete IRI-approved safety gas train. The system measures 18´x6´x12´, including heat exchanger, ductwork, supply blower, and steel skid mounting, and is designed to maintain catalyst temperatures of 750°F-800°F.
