• Core Oxidation Zone: Oxidizes VOCs and hazardous pollutants into safe byproducts.
• High-Temperature Operation: Efficiently operates at 1400–1800°F (760–982°C) for complete VOC destruction.
• Reliable Ignition: Pilot burners or spark igniters ensure stable combustion, even at low loads.
• Temperature Control & Safety: Sensors and interlocks monitor and protect against overheating.
• Durable Construction: Heat-resistant alloys or refractory materials withstand repeated thermal cycling.
• Efficient VOC Destruction: Optimized design achieves >95% destruction efficiency.
• RTO Integration: Works with ceramic media and bypass valves for maximum efficiency and safe emissions.

Cause of Issues:

• Corrosion: Acidic VOCs or moisture from condensate attack refractory lining.
• Thermal stress: High temperature cycling causes expansion/contraction, leading to cracks or lining failures.
• Improper maintenance: Ignoring refractory inspections allows micro-cracks to propagate, reducing combustion efficiency.

Consequences:

VOCs not fully oxidized → decreased emission destruction efficiency.

• Potential hot spots → risk of equipment damage.
• Uneven heating → reduced fuel efficiency.

Preventive Maintenance:

• Regular refractory inspections for cracks or wear.
• Infrared thermography to detect hot spots or uneven heating.
• Repair or replace refractory linings before cracks propagate.
