The present disclosure relates to a method for treating exhaust gas including a plasma reaction operation of reacting exhaust gas containing a volatile organic compound (VOC) with low-temperature plasma to generate exhaust gas containing a VOC-derived intermediate, and a combustion operation of combusting the exhaust gas containing the VOC-derived intermediate to produce carbon dioxide and water.

A regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) with three or more chambers. Each chamber would be in a unique mode, (inlet, outlet, purge). Each chamber has its gas flow determined by two poppet valves which define which mode the chamber will be in: inlet mode, output mode, or purge mode.

An ammonia stripper (32) and method for stripping ammonia from ammonia-containing water is described, comprising an ammonia-containing water inlet (56), a steam inlet (70), and a forced air inlet (82), and an ammonia-containing gas outlet (36) and a wastewater outlet (72). The steam and air contact the ammonia-containing water in counter-flow to release ammonia from the ammonia-containing water. The ammonia stripper further comprises a steam and air mixing duct (200) shaped to create turbulence in the steam and air flow to promote mixing of the steam and air flow prior to contacting the ammonia-containing water. Also described is an ammonia stripper and method comprising a precipitation unit for precipitating solids from the ammonia-containing water prior to the inlet, and an ammonia stripper and method comprising a steam flash vessel for generating steam from the wastewater produced by the ammonia stripper for recycling into the ammonia stripper. Further described are thermal destructors for destroying ammonia in ammonia-containing gas from an ammonia stripper; and a method of removing ammonia from ammonia-containing gas wherein ammonia-containing gas is drawn from the ammonia-containing gas outlet and returned into the ammonia stripper to mix with the forced air entering the ammonia stripper.

A regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) with three or more chambers. Each chamber would be in a unique mode, (inlet, outlet, purge). Each chamber has its gas flow determined by two poppet valves which define which mode the chamber will be in: inlet mode, output mode, or purge mode.

Methods and systems for oxidizing gas are provided. An example regenerative oxidizer is provided that includes a combustion chamber to heat gas present in the combustion chamber. The regenerative oxidizer also includes a first heat exchange media bed and a second heat exchange media bed. Each of the first heat exchange media bed and the second heat exchange media bed are in fluid communication with the combustion chamber. The regenerative oxidizer further includes two burners disposed within the combustion chamber to provide a total heat input to the gas present in the combustion chamber. At least one of the two burners is independently adjustable based on the airflow direction.

The disclosure is directed to a process and an apparatus for recovering energy from the low energy density waste gas stream. The process and the apparatus allow a thermal oxidizer to oxidize the low energy density waste gas stream using a low energy density fuel gas such as syngas, BF gas, or biogas without the need for auxiliary high energy density sources.

A system and method to prevent an oxidizer overheating using cold side bypass for a volatile organic compounds (VOCs) treatment system with a series rotor are described, which is mainly used in the organic waste air treatment system. The system is equipped with a thermal oxidizer (to), a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a third heat exchanger, a first cold-side transporting pipeline, a first adsorption rotor, a second adsorption rotor, and a chimney. A cold-side proportional damper is installed between the first desorption-treated air pipeline and the first cold-side transporting pipeline, or it is installed on the first desorption-treated air pipeline. When the VOCs concentration becomes higher, the cold-side proportional damper can regulate the airflow to adjust the heat-recovery amount or concentration, when treating the organic waste air, it can prevent the thermal oxidizer from being overheated due to high oxidizer temperature, and protect from thermal oxidizer shut-down.
