ThermGen 3 chamber RTO with secondary heat recovery on a steel coating line. Air-Clear’s ThermGen™ Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO) are the most energy efficient, cost effective solutions for the reduction of VOCs and odorous air emissions…here’s why: • Ceramic energy recovery beds capture and reuse up to 95% of the systems energy. The result is low fuels cost. • Heat released from the oxidation of the VOCs is also captured in the recovery beds which further helps reduce supplement fuel use. In fact, with a VOC concentration of about 3% of the LFL the ThermGen™ RTO is self sustaining, that is no supplement heat input is required. | |||||||||
By fabricating ‘in house’ Air-Clear maintains quality and schedule control at a lower cost to our customer. | |||||||||
A prefilter (left side) protects the Fan and media from thick plasticizer reducing maintenance and increasing on line production time. | |||||||||

Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizers (RCO) Air-Clear’s Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizers (RCO) are the most energy efficient, cost effective solutions for the reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odorous air emissions...here’s why. Highly effective at reducing VOCs by means of catalytic oxidation, eliminates as much as 99% of the VOCs meeting the EPA. • Ceramic energy recovery beds capture and reuse up to 95% of the systems energy. The result is low fuels cost. • Heat released from the oxidation of the VOCs is also captured in the recovery beds which further help reduce supplement fuel use. In fact, with a VOC concentration of about 3% of the Lower Flammability Limit (LFL) the RCO is self sustaining, that is no supplement heat input is required. Low profile, skid mounted, RCO (12,000 CFM) is being lowered onto the structural support frame. | |||||||||
