Better Burning
Regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) are effective pollution control devices widely used to destroy up to 99.9% of VOCs in paint shop process air streams by burning at temperatures to 1,500°F.Heating air to those kinds of temperatures requires a lot of energy, so RTO suppliers are constantly developing new ways to make their RTO units more energy-efficient.
