Gaseous and VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) effluent produced by various manufacturing processes have to be treated before being discharged to the atmosphere in order to achieve the limits required by prevailing regulations.

 

Among the options offered by technology and enforced by regulations, the most effective and widely used for VOC and odour treatment is thermal oxidation. This technology is indeed regarded as Best Available Control Technology by the various agencies. Pollutant gases are heated to high temperature in a combustion chamber and are fully oxidised before being discharged.

 

BABCOCK WANSON has a wide range of experience with over 300 installations of thermal oxidisers for VOC and odour abatment, some with internal heat recovery, others using external heat recovery.
