RTO technology and RCO technology are VOCs (volatile organic compounds) treatment technologies. They are mature technologies with wide application, good treatment effect, stable operation and low cost.

RCO refers to regenerative catalytic combustion, which is called “Regenerative Catalytic Oxidation Oxidation” in English. The working principle of RCO regenerative catalytic combustion is: the first step is the adsorption of VOC molecules by the catalyst, which increases the concentration of the reactants, and the second step is the catalytic oxidation stage to reduce the activation energy of the reaction and increase the reaction rate. With the help of catalysts, organic (mainly actual reports) waste gas can be burned without oxygen at a lower ignition temperature, decomposed into CO2 and H2O, and release a lot of heat. Compared with direct combustion, it has the characteristics of low ignition temperature and low energy consumption. In some cases, no external heating is required after reaching the ignition temperature, and the reaction temperature is 250-400℃.

Differences:

RTO does not contain a catalyst, while RCO does;

RTO’s operating temperature is above 760°C, while RCO’s operating temperature is between 250 and 400°C;

RTO may produce secondary NOX pollutants, while RCO will not;

RCO’s operating temperature is low, and its operating costs are lower than RTO’s.
