Reduce, recycle, reuse or destroy? Ask us about the Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) for solvent coatings. This unit attached to the coater exhaust destroys up to 99% of all volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and odors through the process of high-temperature thermal oxidation
Utilize Chemsultants’ innovative product development and pilot coating services to develop or improve your products tailored to your end-use applications.
Chemsultants International’s largest coating line, the Universal Coater, has multiple coating capabilities and a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) for solvent coatings. This coater allows us flexibility to address the most challenging coating issues. With our full-service coating and process development facility, Chemsultants International has become a reliable contract manufacturer to many companies large and small.

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO)
The regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) is used for the treatment of exhaust air that uses a bed of ceramic material to absorb heat from the exhaust gas. It then uses this captured heat to preheat the incoming process gas stream and destroy air pollutants emitted from process exhaust streams at temperatures ranging from 815 °C (1,500 F) to 980 °C (1,800 F). The RTO destroys air toxins, odors, VOCs, and hazardous air pollutants that are discharged in industrial process exhausts.
We care about solving problems without creating new ones. Our RTO enables us to work safely with solvents so you don't have to.
