A 3D rendering of a 10,000 SCFM (16.000 Nm3h) Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer with two media beds from The CMM Group. CMM RTOs are designed to destroy air pollutants emitted from process exhaust streams at temperatures ranging from 815°C (1,500 F) to 980°C (1,800 F). RTOs utilize ceramic media packed into vertical canisters as a high-efficiency heat exchanger. Oxidation is achieved as pollutants pass through the ceramic media, are mixed, and held at elevated temperatures in the combustion chamber.
