Wood Products
Kono Kogs, Inc. has decades of expertise in meeting compliance and optimization demands.
Wood dryers are one of the more challenging emission control applications. Emissions include volatile organic compounds/Hazardous Air Pollutants (VOC/HAPs), particulate matter (PM), condensable organic aerosols such as wood tars, fly ash, wood fiber all in a high moisture content airstream. Proper pre-treatment prior to the regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) is critical for reliable operation and proper VOC/HAP destruction in the RTO or RCO. Proven pre-treatment with wet electrostatic precipitators (wet ESPs / WESPs) for PM control, and regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) for VOC /HAP control, are a common choice for emission control in these applications.
