Building an Oxidizer, Part 3: Compliance Test Readiness

May 2, 2016 3:43:15 PM

One question which we frequently receive is about the length of the process of building and installing an oxidizer. There are many factors which influence the oxidizer installation process, including the client’s procurement process and the complexity of the equipment and location of the site. In this series of blogs, we’ve been taking a look at a typical industrial process utilizing a standard thermal oxidizer, catalytic oxidizer, or regenerative thermal oxidizer. We’ve previously discussed the timelines for the client buying process and oxidizer delivery and installation. In this final blog, we’ll look at the timeline for compliance testing.

Ammonia (NH₃) is one of the most commonly produced industrial chemicals in the United States. It is used in industry and commerce, and it also exists naturally in humans and in the environment. Ammonia is essential for many biological processes and serves as a precursor for amino acid and nucleotide synthesis. In the environment, ammonia is part of the nitrogen cycle and is produced in soil from bacterial processes. Ammonia is also produced naturally from decomposition of organic matter, including plants, animals, and animal wastes.

5_Questions_to_Answer_-_Air_Pollution_Control_Device.jpg Air pollution control is a complicated subject, but it is incredibly important for any company that uses industrial processes to understand how to manage the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) that they produce. But before companies proceed with planning and budgeting for an air pollution control device, there are several questions they need to answer:

At CPI, we are frequently asked about the length of time necessary to build and install an oxidizer. The answer to that question is complicated, depending on a variety of factors such as the client’s procurement process and the complexity of the equipment and location of the site. To help build understanding of the decisions that go into this process, we wanted to take a closer look at a typical industrial process utilizing a standard thermal oxidizer, catalytic oxidizer, or regenerative thermal oxidizer. In our first blog on this topic, we looked at the client buying process. Today, we’ll look at the timeline for oxidizer deliver and installation.

Our first encounters with our customers often start with this statement; “I was told that I need a RTO.” That’s obviously a big statement which usually leads to many more questions to precisely determine where we can help. This also means that the person with interest has some sort of air pollution control problem that may involve volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbon monoxide (CO) or odorous emissions.

It may be helpful to understand the basic reason anyone would need a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO).

EPA Title V - VOC abatement systems

If you haven’t had a Title V permit, but one may be in your future, you may wonder what’s in store. In this post, we’ll take a look at the Title V permit program, which has been a feature of environmental regulation in the United States for over twenty years.
