In a major, high-value project – the second at this particular plant in Mexico – NUTEC Bickley will supply a 125m-long tunnel kiln to one of the world’s leading advanced ceramics manufacturers.
Regenerative Thermal Oxidation Systems
Regenerative Thermal Oxidation Systems
At NUTEC Bickley, we offer advanced Regenerative Thermal Oxidation (RTO) systems, combining outstanding VOC destruction efficiency with optimized energy recovery.
This technology is engineered to handle a wide range of industrial emissions by oxidizing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at high temperatures and recovering thermal energy with minimal fuel consumption.
In the context of combustion systems, “regenerative” refers to a process where heat from exhaust gases is captured, stored and reused to preheat incoming air, improving overall system efficiency.
In systems like RTOs, ceramic media beds store heat from outgoing clean air and transfer it to incoming contaminated air. This results in high energy efficiency, lower fuel consumption, and reduced emissions.
RTOs comprise high-quality ceramic media, allowing for greater energy accumulation and a very high exchange surface area, which provides an overall thermal efficiency range of 95 to 99%. Additionally, they deliver a contaminant destruction rate greater than 99%.
By recovering and reusing heat through ceramic media, RTOs can drastically reduce fuel consumption—and, in some cases, operate with minimal or no auxiliary fuel when VOC levels are high enough.
At NUTEC Bickley, we focus on integrating RTO systems into your thermal process plant in order to ensure maximum efficiency, reliability, and long-term savings.
RTOs typically operate at between 1400°F and 1600°F (760°C to 870°C) to ensure effective VOC destruction and high efficiency.
This temperature is continuously controlled through thermocouples and burner modulation, guaranteeing compliance, stability, and optimal fuel use. Depending on VOC concentration, some systems can even operate with minimal additional fuel.
We serve multiple industries through the design, building and installation of combustion systems, thermal insulation and highly specialized industrial furnaces, kilns and ovens. We are focused on understanding our customers’ needs and supplying the best equipment at the most competitive price.
