Incineration / Thermal Oxidation
Although incineration or thermal
oxidation can destroy many unwanted pollutants, the byproducts formed can still be
considered hazardous and require additional air pollution control. Solid and liquid waste
incineration can produce acid gases such as hydrogen chloride and salts/oxides of heavy
metals such as antimony, beryllium, cadmium and nickel. Catalytic and regenerative thermal
oxidizers produce both hydrogen chloride and other halogen acid gases when oxidizing
certain volatile organic compounds. In addition, the gases leaving the incineration
process can range from 300°F to 2500°F.
Ceilcote APC has the expertise to provide a complete emission control system from the
high-temperature quench to the exhaust stack. In some cases, where only gas scrubbing is
required, a high-efficiency packed tower scrubber
is adequate. For applications where particulate removal is also required, fluid-bed scrubbers, venturis, or an Ionizing Wet scrubber (IWS)
may be recommended depending on the particulate size and characteristics. In any case,
Ceilcote can provide gas scrubbing efficiencies >99.99% and reduce particulate levels
below 0.001 gr/DSCF.
