Air-Clear Catalytic Recuperative Oxidizer Systems (CATOX™)
In contrast to their thermal counterparts, Catalytic Oxidizers use a catalyst to promote the oxidation reaction to occur. Catalytic oxidation requires less than half the heat (500-600°F) needed for thermal oxidation (1,400-1,600°F) and creates an opportunity to substantially reduce fuel expenses and material costs. The addition of a Recuperative (heat exchanger) further reduces the need for supplemental fuel. In many cases, the system requires no supplemental fuel in an operating condition known as "autocatalytic".
