Concentrate Emissions & Reduce the Cost of Compliance: VOC & HAP Abatement Strategies

Typical air pollution control projects focus on the capture mechanism and a destruction device. With regulations driving towards higher capture efficiencies, combustion devices must treat larger volumes of air with lower concentration of pollutants. The Anguil (USA) concentrator technology is an energy and cost saving add-on to thermal and catalytic oxidisers that can reduce the amount of treated airflow by 95%. This greatly reduced flow, which is rich in emissions and much less of an operating cost burden on the destruction device.

Even though regenerative thermal oxidisers (RTOs) are extremely efficient, they rely on a steady stream of emissions from the process to fuel combustion of incoming contaminants. When coupled with a concentrator, the RTO will operate with very little additional natural gas consumption. At higher concentration values, it even has sufficient “free energy” to provide the adsorption energy for the concentrator.

Since oxidisers are sized and specified for a given project based on the maximum amount of airflow being sent to the device, manufacturers can also save a significant amount of money on capital equipment costs.

Anguil Environmental Systems Inc. offers multiple oxidiser technologies for destroying Volatile Organic Compounds, Hazardous Air Pollutants and odours; ensuring unbiased equipment selection for each application based on destruction requirements, efficiency needs and process parameters. In addition to concentrators we design, manufacturer, service and install: Regenerative Thermal Oxidisers (RTOs) as well as direct-fired, catalytic and thermal recuperative systems.
