RCO Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizer Equipment

Product Introduction of RCO Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizer:

The RCO Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizer, fully known as Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizer in English, is primarily an exhaust gas purification device used for treating organic waste gases. Its principle, simply put, involves combining catalytic oxidation and heat recovery technologies to convert harmful substances in organic waste gases into harmless substances while recovering the thermal energy from the exhaust gases, thereby achieving energy reuse. Below is a detailed introduction to the RCO Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizer:

I. Working Principle of RCO Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizer

The working principle of the RCO Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizer mainly includes the following steps:

1. Adsorption Stage: Waste gas containing VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) passes through an activated carbon adsorption layer under the action of a fan. Organic substances are trapped within the activated carbon due to its unique forces, and the purified clean gas is discharged.
2. Desorption and Catalytic Combustion Stage: When the activated carbon reaches saturation, adsorption stops. At this point, the heating chamber inside the device activates, initiating an internal cycle. When the hot gas source reaches the boiling point of the organic substances, VOCs are released from the activated carbon and enter the catalytic chamber, where they are catalytically decomposed into CO₂ and H₂O, releasing energy. The released energy is then used for desorption in the adsorption bed. At this stage, the heating device stops working, and the VOCs organic waste gas maintains self-combustion in the catalytic combustion chamber, cycling continuously until the VOCs are completely separated from the activated carbon and decomposed in the catalytic chamber.
3. Heat Recovery Stage: The heat generated during the catalytic combustion process is captured and stored by regenerative materials, used to preheat subsequent waste gases, thereby achieving heat recycling and improving energy utilization efficiency.

II. Main Features:

1. High-Efficiency Exhaust Gas Purification: The RCO device can efficiently purify waste gases, completely oxidizing organic substances and harmful gases, significantly reducing the concentration of emissions and the discharge of pollutants, with a purification rate of over 95%.
2. Energy Recovery: Through heat recovery technology, the RCO device captures and recovers thermal energy from the fuel, using it to preheat waste gases and provide the heat required for further combustion, significantly reducing energy consumption.
3. Low-Temperature Reaction: The catalytic combustion reaction occurs at relatively low temperatures, reducing energy consumption and operational costs.
4. No Secondary Pollution: The catalytic combustion process does not produce secondary pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, ensuring no secondary pollution throughout the entire process.
5. Automated Control: The device employs an advanced automatic control system that can monitor exhaust gas concentration and process parameters in real-time, automatically adjusting as needed to ensure stability and efficiency during prolonged operation.
6. Simple Operation and Maintenance: The device has a rational structure, is easy to operate, and has low maintenance costs. The regenerative materials inside the device exhibit excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, ensuring a long service life.

III. Application Areas

The RCO Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizer is widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, chemicals, and environmental protection, particularly suited for treating high-temperature, high-concentration, continuously generated organic waste gases. For example, it finds extensive applications in refineries, fertilizer plants, ethylene plants, chemical production facilities, synthetic ammonia plants, chemical fiber industries, iron smelting plants, steel mills, coal-fired power plants, power generation plants, waste gas treatment plants, and waste incineration plants.
