About Thermal Oxidizers and Catalytic Oxidizers

Thermal oxidizers may also be called afterburners or direct flame thermal oxidizers.  Thermal oxidation is a method of pollution control that can be applied to incineration as a method of pollution control for air polluted with small particles or combustible solids or liquids.  Catalytic oxidization is an off-gas post treatment unit for control of organic compounds. Gas enters the unit and passes over a support material coated with a catalyst (commonly a noble metal such as platinum or rhodium) that promotes oxidation of the organics.  Catalytic oxidizers can convert volatile organic compounds (VOC) to carbon dioxide and water at much lower temperatures than thermal oxidizers by using a catalyst inside the combustion chamber.
