Custom VOC-control systems for Wisconsin facilities
Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer Wisconsin Engineering and Support
Ship & Shore Environmental designs and manufactures custom regenerative thermal oxidizer systems for Wisconsin facilities that need to control volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and odorous process emissions. Applications may include printing and converting, coating, food and ingredient processing, wood products, chemical processes, and other manufacturing operations with collected process exhaust.
Each RTO application begins with verified process data, including minimum and maximum airflow, VOC constituents and loading, exhaust temperature, moisture, particulates, operating schedule, utility availability, required destruction efficiency, available footprint, and future production plans. The collection system, oxidizer, controls, heat recovery, installation sequence, and service access are evaluated together.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources air-permit program addresses construction and operation permits for industrial sources and compliance with applicable state and federal air requirements. Permit applicability and project-specific conditions should be confirmed by the facility and its environmental or permitting professionals.
What to Bring to an RTO Evaluation
A useful first conversation starts with the operating facts that drive equipment size, fuel use, pressure drop, and compliance performance:
- Normal, minimum, and maximum process airflow in SCFM
- VOC and HAP constituents, normal concentrations, and peak loading
- Exhaust temperature, moisture, particulates, and corrosive compounds
- Production schedule, product changes, and planned expansion
- Permit limits, capture requirements, and performance-test conditions
- Available footprint, electrical service, fuel, and installation windows
What Ship & Shore Evaluates
Ship & Shore’s engineering team evaluates the full emissions-control path, not only the RTO vessel. That can include collection-system design and fabrication, RTO sizing, ceramic media, high-cycle valves, controls, heat recovery, stack and ductwork requirements, freeze protection, maintenance access, and the sequence for installation and startup.
For a replacement oxidizer, the equipment-installation plan can be developed around production constraints. Preassembly, staged work, tie-in planning, and commissioning steps depend on site access, existing ductwork, safety requirements, and the facility’s shutdown schedule.
From RTO Design Through Startup in Wisconsin
A successful Wisconsin RTO project connects process analysis, emissions capture, equipment design, fabrication, installation, balancing, operator training, and lifecycle service. Ship & Shore can support the project from initial application review through commissioning, while the facility and its permitting professionals retain responsibility for site-specific permit strategy and agency submissions.
After startup, preventive inspections, spare-parts planning, troubleshooting, controls support, and performance reviews help protect uptime and the equipment investment. Explore Ship & Shore’s RTO aftermarket services for both Ship & Shore systems and equipment manufactured by other suppliers. Factory-trained technicians are available by phone 24/7, with field service scheduled according to project needs.
Company-wide experience: Ship & Shore reports more than 25 years in clean-air systems, more than 1,000 custom systems installed worldwide, and 99%+ destruction removal efficiency on most RTO applications. Project-specific performance depends on the verified process basis and final design.

Wisconsin RTO Questions
What process data is needed to size a regenerative thermal oxidizer?
The engineering team needs the airflow range, exhaust temperature, VOC and HAP constituents, normal and peak loading, operating schedule, required control efficiency, moisture, particulates, available utilities, and site constraints. Representative peak conditions are important because they can affect equipment size, safety controls, and energy use.
Can Ship & Shore help with a Wisconsin air-permit project?
Ship & Shore can develop process and equipment information needed to define the emissions-control system and coordinate with the facility’s permitting team. Wisconsin DNR or another responsible authority determines permit applicability, submittal requirements, test methods, and final conditions.
Does Ship & Shore provide ongoing RTO support for Wisconsin facilities?
Yes. Phone troubleshooting, inspections, controls work, parts planning, upgrades, and scheduled field service can be provided for Ship & Shore systems and many oxidizers made by other manufacturers. Response and travel plans are confirmed for the specific service need.
