Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer Systems

Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer Systems

At NUTEC Bickley, we integrate advanced environmental technologies to help industries meet strict emissions regulations while maximizing energy efficiency.
Our recuperative thermal oxidizer (RECUTOX) systems, are designed to eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants by using direct flame thermal oxidation, combined with highly efficient heat recovery.

These recuperative thermal oxidizers are engineered to ensure optimal oxidation conditions, high temperature, controlled residence time, and turbulence, within a robust combustion chamber. The system captures the energy released during the oxidation process and repurposes it for use in your industrial operations.

Energy Recovery Options from the Recuperative Thermal Oxidation
Thermal energy generated during the oxidation process is recovered and reused by:The thermal energy generated during the oxidation process is recovered and reused in the form of:
Preheating incoming stream
Preheating combustion air
Heating water to use in facilities.
This not only reduces fuel consumption but also minimizes operational costs and environmental impact.
Applications of Recuperative Thermal Oxidizers
The RECUTOX technology is suited for a wide range of industries and processes that involve:
VOC elimination from solvent-based operations
Air purification in chemical, pharmaceutical, and resin production
Odor removal in food processing and plastic manufacturing
Coffee roasting and other organic aerosol-emitting activities
Printing, flexography, and wood lamination
Surface coating and painting operations
General industrial processes that emit sulfur compounds (e.g., SH₂, mercaptans) and other odorous gases
Key Benefits of the Recuperative Thermal Oxidizers
High VOC and odor destruction efficiency
Handles a broad range of airflows and contaminant concentrations
Versatile across various industries and emission types
Simple operation and low maintenance
Built-in energy recovery for reduced utility costs
Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer System Components 
The recuperative thermal oxidizers are equipped with:
Internally insulated carbon steel combustion chamber.
Modulating burner (natural gas, LPG, or diesel).
Combustion air fan.
Emissions stack for exhaust release.
Integrated heat recovery unit.
When to Choose Recuperative Thermal Oxidation?
This solution is ideal when:
Gas flow rates are relatively low (up to 40,000 Nm³/h)
Contaminant concentrations are high (4–20 g/Nm³)
Heat recovery can significantly offset operational energy costs
Strict VOC and odor regulations apply
