Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO)

RTOs typically operate at 1500^o – 1600^o Fahrenheit depending upon the VOC characteristics. Thermocouples inside the chamber monitor temperature and adjust gas burner firing as needed. Adequate temperature is essential to ensure VOC destruction efficiency. In most cases a data log of chamber temperature is required for air quality compliance.

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.

Kono Kogs stands behind every refurbished RTO with warranties that match or exceed those of new equipment OEMs. We have a proven track record of meeting warranty commitments for parts and system performance across a wide range of customers from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Our experienced team provides ongoing technical and maintenance support both on-site, and remotely via KONOConnect to ensure your system operates reliably over the long term.

To ensure quality, we use only top-tier components, conduct thorough inspections, and upgrade parts as needed. Our collaborative planning and extensive oxidizer expertise help deliver flawless projects that our customers trust and recommend.

TOX typically have a 0.5 second to 1.0 second dwell time for most applications.

We can evaluate your current oxidizer’s capacity alongside the new process requirements to recommend the best upgrade approach. Options may include adding new heat exchanger media, installing a larger fan, or modifying the burner and combustion chamber to meet destruction needs. For some cases, using a VOC concentrator to reduce pollutant levels before the oxidizer can be an effective solution. Please note that existing equipment may not be sufficient, even with changes or upgrades.
