RTO Waste Gas Incinerator Equipment and Its Essential Components: Burners and Combustion System

The RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer) waste gas incinerator is a type of waste gas treatment equipment. Compared with low-efficiency waste gas treatment solutions, it features a thermal efficiency of up to 95%, low operating costs, and the capability to handle waste gas with large air volume and medium-to-high concentration. Therefore, the RTO equipment has a wider range of applications, achieves high purification efficiency, and is adopted by more enterprises. Next, we will gain an in-depth understanding of the indispensable components of this equipment: burners and combustion systems.

The burners of the RTO incinerator can realize automatic temperature control. Fuel-fired burners are used to provide heat sources, and full automatic control functions are implemented according to the actual operating conditions of the incinerator. These functions include automatic ignition, automatic furnace pressure control, and automatic temperature control. The burners can also connect with the DCS (Distributed Control System) in the central control room for both on-site and remote operation.

The combustion system of the RTO equipment adopts Maxon/North American Industrial burners. Moreover, the gas inlet and air inlet of the equipment are independently arranged, which helps to create a low-oxygen environment and maintain a stable temperature condition. This allows the waste gas to be heated fully and evenly, ensuring that the waste gas purification efficiency remains stable at over 99%. Additionally, the thermal energy of the equipment can be recovered and reused—either for preheating the newly incoming organic waste gas or for the enterprise’s production processes.
