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.
