A California refinery is using a flameless thermal oxidation technology to destroy and remove organic air pollutants. The technology has achieved destruction and removal efficiencies (DREs) greater than 99.99%. The process produces minimal emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. The Thermatrix technology is essentially a heated, packed-bed reactor containing a porous inert matrix. The matrix typically is composed of spherical or saddle-shaped ceramic pieces. The paper describes the process, matrix properties, performance, flameproof operation, and a case study.
