Regenerative thermal oxidizer
A regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) is an industrial process for the treatment of exhaust air. The system is a type of thermal oxidizers that uses a bed of ceramic material to absorb heat from the exhaust gas. It then uses this captured heat to preheat the incoming process gas stream and destroy air pollutants emitted from process exhaust streams at temperatures ranging from 815 °C (1,500 F) to 980 °C (1,800 F).
