1.0 Preface
Generally dealing with the volatile organic compounds by heat oxidation or biological oxidation methods. but the biological oxidation is few in application because of high operation and high maintenance cost. methods by oxidation of heat nowadays, divided into:1.Thermal Oxidizer (TO), 2.Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer, 3.Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO).

1 Description of plant and process
Regenerative thermal oxidation is one of the most efficient technologies to remove pollutants from waste air exhausts evading from processing plants at low energy costs. One of the main features of the RTO- process is the low primary energy requirement and the high performance rate. The plant consists of three reactors with ceramic packing which are connected at the top with a combustion chamber. The waste gas and clean gas, inlet and outlet connection are located at the bottom of the reactors. Special designed shut off valves ensure, that no slip streams between waste and clean gas occur.
The waste air which is polluted with styrene, butadiene and acrylonitrile is pre-heated to high temperatures of approx. 800°C before it enters the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is equipped with a burner which increases the temperature up to 850 - 900°C. At this high temperature, together with a residence time of more than 1 second, all organic components are completely oxidized. The hot flue gases or the so called purified air, passes through a ceramic packing in which the heat of the purified air is transferred to the ceramic packing. The main advantage of the RTO technology is the low consumption of fuel for the process. This is achieved by the high pre-heating temperature prior to the incineration, combined with the high efficiency of the heat recovery system. The heat exchangers are in form of ceramic random packing which are filled in 3 metal reactors which are equipped with a internal refractory lining. The 3 reactors are connected which each other through the combustion chamber. The operation of the plant is cyclic. Polluted waste air is preheated in the 1st reactor, purified in the combustion chamber and is cooled in the 2nd reactor. In the 1st reactor the heat is transferred from the ceramic packing to the waste gas, in the 2nd reactor the heat is transferred from the clean gas to the ceramic packing. After a certain time period the flow through the reactors is changed, and the waste gas now passes through the 2nd reactor and is preheated and the clean gas flows through the 1st reactor. To minimize organic peaks which occur when switching from 1st to 2nd reactor a 3rd reactor is installed. All 3 reactors have the same dimensions. In reality the cyclic switching always includes 3 reactors whereas the reactor in which the waste gas passed through is purged before it is switched to the clean gas flow.
Since the waste gas sometimes contains organic substances, which may polymerise on the ceramic packing in the reactor, deposits may occur especially in the colder parts of the ceramic packing. It is therefore necessary to install a burn out system to remove these deposits. This burn out system is operated discontinuously only when the pressure drop exceeds set point limits. While the burn out system is running, it is necessary to interrupt the waste gas incineration. Air is blown through a special pipework to the preheating reactor, heated by the burner in the combustion chamber and flows through the burn out reactor. The ceramic packing in this reactor is heated to the ignition temperature of the deposits and the deposits are burned out. The flue gas is recycled to the inlet of the RTO-system and is cleaned in the 3rd reactor before it flows to the stack. During the burn out phase the RTO is not on stream. The system designed will oxidize the burn out products, so that no higher emissions than allowed are expelled into the surroundings. If requested from the client a burn out system during normal operation without interruption of the normal operating mode is possible. For this case the RTO-system has to be designed and executed with 4 reactors. During burn out 3 reactors are in normal operation to clean the waste gas and the 4th reactor is in burn out phase. This offer only refers to a system with 3 reactors.
1.3 Automatisation and regulation
The RTO incineration unit is equipped with a programmable control system. All field signals are registered in the automatisation system. The program controls the cyclic times, the incineration temperature and regulates a constant negative inlet suction pressure at the battery limits. The volume flow is regulated and controlled by a frequency converter, which adapts the rotation speed of the suction blower. The incineration temperature is regulated by the regulation valve of a burner fuel feed. All temperatures and pressures in the system are registered continuously. The valves for waste gas and clean gas are equipped with limit switches, so that the operation and position of the valves is continuously controlled.
The burner is operated with heavy oil. A special burner is equipped in the combustion chamber, which permits the incineration of heavy oil. This burner is equipped with a mechanical rotating atomisation disk, which enables a stable flame and a high combustion efficiency. The burner system is equipped with an ignition burner, which is connected with a LPG bottle. A continuous flame guard monitors the flame stability. The quantity of fuel supplied to the burner depends on the quantity of organic materials in the waste gas. When the content of organic wastes in the waste gas exeeds approximately 2,1 g/Nm3, no additional support fuel is required. The burner regulates automatically to the required fuel amount, so that only a minimum of fuel is needed for the operation of the plant.
