Catalytic
Oxidizer Systems
|
CSM's catalytic oxidizer (CatOx) performance-guaranteed
systems use precious metal catalysts to achieve low-temperature oxidation
of VOCs and CO from gaseous waste systems. Up to 99% of VOCs and CO will
be destroyed by conversion to harmless carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor.
Applications of our catalytic oxidizers span all industries
using organic solvents, including chemical, printing, lamination, and
tape manufacture, and coating operations of all kinds. Solvents that can
be easily handled include a wide range of alcohols, ketones, aldehydes.
aromatics, and hydrocarbons, both saturated and unsaturated.
Our CatOx systems process 200 to 100,000 SCFM of VOC- or
CO-laden gas using the following key components:
- A process air blower/motor with an
automatic flow control system to push the VOC-laden gaseous stream through
the CSM CATOX system.
- A custom, packaged burner system
with natural gas as fuel and combustion air, which achieves a very
low NOx emission rate from the system.
- A catalyst typically operating at
550 °F to treat the VOC-laden process exhaust system and achieve the
required destruction efficiency, including 99% of the non-methane
hydrocarbon compounds, which are converted to harmless CO2 and water
vapor.

Skid Mount/Package Systems
Our compact skid-mounted CatOx systems, ranging from 200 to
30,000 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM), have become the solution of
choice as emission abatement systems for a number of small- to mid-scale
applications in commercial bakeries, chemical manufacturers,
pharmaceutical manufacturers, and printing companies, among others. For
more than 25 years, these manufacturers have appreciated the low
operating costs associated with our skid-mount/package CatOx systems. But
they really value our systems' ability to destroy a wide range of VOCs,
particularly in coating operations involving the use of organic solvents
such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, cyclo-hexane and methylene
chloride.
Field-erected Systems
Chemical plants have been a major market for our large-scale
CatOx systems for more than 30 years. They process 30,000 to 100,000 SCFM
of VOC- or CO-laden gas at more than 50 world-class plants around the
world. Our TORVEX® and LoTemp™ catalysts provide low-temperature VOC and
CO oxidation to remove up to 99% in a wide range of chemical processing
plants for:
- Phthalic anhydride (PA)
- Maleic anhydride (MA)
- Pure terephthalic acid (PTA)
- Polyethylene terephthalic acid
(PET)
- Formaldehyde
- Phenol
- Polymers: polyethylene,
polypropylene
- Polystyrene formaldehyde resins
