Learn the early warning signs of DFTO refractory and insulation deterioration, plus preventive maintenance steps that help avoid heat loss, equipment damage, downtime, and costly repairs.
A Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer does more than heat exhaust. Its controls continuously coordinate temperature, airflow, valves, combustion, and heat recovery to keep the system operating within its intended conditions.
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is widely used for insulation, packaging, construction, and impact protection. Its manufacturing also creates a specific air-quality challenge: controlling VOC emissions, primarily pentane, released during processing.

An RTO can look perfectly normal from the outside while wear, fouling, misalignment, or calibration issues are developing inside. That’s why a strong preventive maintenance program goes beyond checking whether the equipment is running it verifies how well the entire system is operating.
