Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer | Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizers | Recuperative Oxidizers | Direct Fire Oxidizers | Concentrator Systems | RSCR Systems

Wood prod picTo date, Pro-Environmental has installed or has under contract, over 90 commercial scales RTO/TCO units in the wood products industry handling dryer and press emissions in OSB, MDF, plywood, particleboard and hardboard applications.

Our design emphasis has been on a system with low operating costs (fuel and electric power), minimal maintenance requirements, and highest uptime reliability. The majority of these RTO/TCO systems handle dryer emissions and are located downstream of particulate control equipment ranging from multiclones to wet electrostatic precipitators. All the systems have exceeded performance guarantees for emissions abatement, and have met all utilities consumption guarantees.

Wood Products - Veneer Dryers
Situation
As part of a large wood products manufacturers MACT compliance project PEI supplied Thermal Catalytic Oxidizers for the veneer dryers located at three different facilities. These applications required a system providing the lowest overall cost of operation capable of handling the difficult process stream while meeting all MACT requirements.
Solution Provided
A two canister TCO was supplied for each facility, each was supplied with corrosion resistant materials of construction to handle the high moisture content in the process steam. A precious metal catalyst specially designed for higher destruction efficiency and a higher tolerance to masking agents was installed.

EPA - Compliance
All three systems were installed and started-up on schedule. Performance testing was conducted and all three met or exceeded permit requirements. A series of tests were conducted to determine the minimum operating temperature and therefore lowest fuel cost necessary to achieve the permit requirements. In all three applications we were able to operate the units at a control temperature which required zero supplemental fuel.
