Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO)

Induced draft fans are often preferred when handling particulates and solvents with high boiling points, as these solvents can condense and build up on forced draft fan wheels, causing maintenance issues and reduced efficiency.

The refractory lining insulates the combustion chamber and helps retain heat. If the refractory becomes cracked, worn, or damaged, heat can escape from the chamber, forcing the burner to fire more frequently to maintain temperature. Over time, this increases fuel consumption and can create hot spots that shorten equipment life.

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.

We can evaluate your heat exchanger, whether metal recuperative or ceramic regenerative, to see if upgrading to a more efficient type is possible. Adding a catalyst might also help reduce gas usage. In some cases, replacing the oxidizer with a more efficient system is the best option. We can check our inventory for suitable units or design a custom system tailored to your needs.

Feel free to check our used RTO inventory and get in contact with our sales and applications engineers at sales@konokogs.com to ensure that the system meets your needs. Quality-built refurbished regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) systems from KKI offer a long service life, can save you up to 40% compared to new units, and come with performance and parts warranties comparable to those of new systems.
