Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO)

The Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) is an abbreviation for Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer. The basic principle is to oxidize organic waste gases (VOCs) at high temperatures (≥760°C), converting them into CO₂ and H₂O, achieving a purification efficiency of up to 99%. The high-temperature gases generated during oxidation pass through specially designed ceramic heat exchangers, causing the ceramic material to heat up and “store heat.” In the next process, waste gas flows through the preheated ceramics, transferring the stored heat to the incoming waste gas. The organic waste gas passes through the ceramics, which act as a heat exchanger, enabling continuous heat exchange. This process saves fuel consumption for heating the waste gas, reduces operating costs, and achieves a heat recovery efficiency of up to 95%. Under medium to high concentration conditions, the RTO can output excess heat for external use in the form of steam, hot air, or hot water, thereby achieving both environmental and economic benefits.
