Thermal Oxidizer

A thermal oxidizer is a combustion system used to control air pollution by destroying hazardous air pollutants (HAP), volatile organic compounds (VOC), and odorous emissions discharged from industrial processes. Also referred to as TOX or thermal incinerator, a thermal oxidizer is designed to oxidize hydrocarbon-based pollutants into CO₂ and H2O before exhausting them to the atmosphere.

Thermal oxidizer (TOX) technology collects air emissions from industrial exhaust airstreams containing VOCs and HAPs, raises the airstream to high temperature to oxidize (convert) the pollutants into CO₂ and H2O before releasing the clean airstream into the atmosphere. Like other oxidizer systems, time, temperature, and turbulence are the key to proper performance of a TOX.
