Process for minimizing condensibles in process streams treated by thermal oxidizers

摘要

A method for processing an air stream using a thermal oxidizer, by pre-heating the air stream, without the use of auxiliary heat, and substantially eliminating the condensation of organic or inorganic compounds within the air stream to be treated. Alternatively, or in combination, the system used for this pre-heat method can also be used to accommodate intermittent higher volumes of organic or inorganic compounds without the need for additional bypass hardware or any unnecessary waste of energy or capital costs.
