Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO)
A regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) is an air pollution control device that destroys VOCs and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in industrial exhaust air. By using regenerative heat recovery, it achieves high fuel efficiency, often operating with 95% heat recovery.

FAQs
RCOs offer greater fuel economy, while recuperative units may be best for high VOC concentration airstreams (or an RTO can be considered). Contact KKI for guidance in choosing the right oxidizer for your application.
TOX typically have a 0.5 second to 1.0 second dwell time for most applications.
Typically 1400° F minimum up to 1550° F depending upon the VOC characteristics. Read more in Operating Temperatures of Different Oxidizers.
In most cases, yes. But proper evaluation is recommended to establish that no potential catalyst poisons or masking agents are present in your airstream.
Yes, our RTOs are typically skid-mounted and pre-assembled to minimize field welding and on-site labor. This simplifies installation and helps reduce overall turnkey project costs.
