Catalytic Products International (CPI) rebuilt a QUADRANT SR- 8,500 SCFM Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer used for the control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) at a Midwest USA resin-coating facility.
CPI worked closely with this long-time customer to minimize the downtime associated with the disassembly and removal of the old components and installation of the new combustion chamber. CPI was able to complete a good portion of the installation activities before the new equipment arrived on site. This approach guaranteed that the entire system was installed correctly, and the facility was back up in production with minimal downtime.
The rebuilt Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer controls VOC emissions from the resin coating process with a destruction rate efficiency (DRE) of 99%. Thermal treatment of VOCs and other air pollutants works by a simple reaction of the harmful air pollutants with oxygen and heat. In this environment, the VOCs are converted into harmless inert byproducts, water vapor (H2O), and usable heat. These harmless by-products are typically released to the atmosphere, or in some cases use an energy recovery technique to further lower the operational costs.
Catalytic Products International (CPI) has been “Enabling Clean Production™ Since 1969” and continues as a leading supplier of air pollution control equipment. CPI is at the forefront in providing industries including the sand resin-coating industry with solutions to their air pollution control needs.
