How It Works

Rotary distribution simplifies regenerative oxidation.

VOC-laden exhaust passes through ceramic heat-storage media before entering the oxidation chamber. The recovered heat reduces burner demand, while a rotary distributor continuously redirects the air stream between bed sectors.

Single-reactor, space-saving layout
Stable alternating airflow
High thermal energy recovery
Reduced switching components

Continuous treatment cycle

The distributor coordinates heat recovery, oxidation and purge functions without a complex bank of switching dampers.

1. PreheatIncoming exhaust absorbs stored heat from the ceramic media.
→
2. OxidizeVOCs are converted at the required oxidation temperature.
→
3. RecoverClean hot gas transfers energy to another media sector.
Rotary distributor: one coordinated moving component routes gas through the regenerative sections and supports smooth, reliable operation.
Modular Advantage

Designed to reduce work at site.

Major equipment, combustion components, heat-storage media, controls and internal ducting are coordinated as a factory-built package. Pre-assembly and shop testing help shorten installation and commissioning activities.

01 / COMPACT

Small Footprint

Single-reactor architecture and packaged auxiliaries reduce the required installation envelope.

02 / RELIABLE

Fewer Moving Parts

Rotary distribution replaces a complicated arrangement of frequently switching valves or dampers.

03 / EFFICIENT

Heat Recovery

Regenerative ceramic media recovers process heat to limit supplemental fuel consumption.

04 / INTEGRATED

Factory Pre-assembly

Mechanical, combustion, fan and control systems are integrated before delivery.

05 / TESTED

Shop Verification

Defined inspection and test activities help avoid site rework and reduce commissioning risk.

06 / SCALABLE

Five Standard Sizes

The VL series supports industrial exhaust-air duties from 2,500 to 30,000 Nm³/h.

RTO-VL Product Range

Five modular sizes for different process-air duties.

Model selection is finalized against actual gas composition, VOC loading, inlet temperature, particulate or condensable content, required destruction efficiency and project site conditions.
