VOC Rotary Concentrators

Add a VOC Rotary Concentrator to your emission control solution to concentrate VOCs from a large airstream into a smaller one, allowing for a smaller and more cost-effective downstream oxidizer. This can lead to up to 30-66% savings in fuel costs and 30-45% in electric costs.

Custom VOC Rotary Concentrator Design & Fabrication

A VOC rotary concentrator is an air pollution control technology used in applications with a combination of high volume of air with low concentration of solvents or VOCs (volatile organic compound). Practically speaking, it is a front-end, pre-conditioning unit placed upstream of a thermal oxidizer or regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO). By concentrating the VOCs from a large airstream into a small airstream, it allows the use of a smaller thermal oxidizer (or RTO), which can significantly reduce fuel and electric costs.

From application to fabrication & assembly to installation, Kono Kogs, Inc. (KKI) will design, fabricate, and deliver your custom VOC rotary concentrator with guaranteed performance.

Reliable VOC Concentrator Systems – New & Refurbished

When a new system is needed, our engineers will select the proper wheel size and zeolite formulation for your particular application. We will integrate the adsorption wheel into the overall system, add filter banks designed for the specific application, add desorption heaters, add secondary heat recovery (where applicable), and select the best regenerative thermal oxidizer technology for the need.

Also, where possible, our expert team can provide a refurbished VOC rotary concentrator, successfully reapplying it to your application.

Case Study: Benefits of Our Integrated Rotor Concentrator Systems

  • The integrated RTO and VOC concentrator system will treat all the emissions from multiple metal coating lines.
  • This design will utilize two VOC concentrator wheels in parallel to provide redundancy for maintenance outages and allow the plant to continue to produce
  • The system will treat emissions from several high flow, low VOC concentration airstreams found throughout the process and will minimize the amount of control devices required to treat the emissions
  • The VOC rotary concentrators will send the concentrated, reduced-flow rate airstream to a smaller, refurbished RTO, which reduces the capital cost for the RTO.
  • The RTO is configured to also treat multiple hot airstreams from their ovens, which eliminates the need for two RTO’s.

Reduce Your Spending on Fuel and Electrical Costs

This custom system is anticipated to reduce fuel use by 50% and achieves a 35% electrical savings versus utilizing a larger regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) to treat the processes. Pairing it with a refurbished RTO results in a capital cost savings of $500,000 over the cost of a new system.
