Comprising
Direct fired thermal oxidizer
Hot gas cooling and acid recovery
Alkaline wet scrubber
Honeycomb selective catalytic reduction deNOx system
>1M cost spare parts


Direct fired thermal oxidizer
Including 2x natural gas combustion chambers and burners
- High calorific liquid waste requires safe ignition supplemental hydrogen supply for acid formation
- Gaseous waste streams injected via nozzles downstream and close to the burner
- 1.5MW multi-fuel natural gas & liquid waste (minor fuel stream) burner with natural gas capacity up to 200Nm3/h
- 1400C normal, 1540C max allowable temperature destruction of pollutants to reduce emissions with 3.28 MW thermal energy transfer
- 2 seconds minimum residence time in combustion chamber at 1400C
- 1,800mm combustion chamber internal dia.
- Approx 300mm refractory lining
- 2,400mm combustion chamber external dia.
- 12,000mm combustion chamber internal length
- 3.28MW maximum thermal capacity
- 4,900Nm3/h, 60mbar, 14kW combustion air fans

One chamber is active, the other one is on standby and can be prepared, repaired, or maintained.
This allows minimizing shutdown and changeover time to only several days

With the redesign and maintenance support of Dürr, the system could also
- be adapted to other halogenated gases with bricks to be selected according to gas application
- cope with the presence of VOCs or contaminated air
- larger volumes with the addition of a small lance for 15kg/h liquid injection
