  1. Environmental Consulting Services, Santa Barbara, CA (United States)

The case history presented here is based on the selection, design, installation, testing in, and continuous operation of a recuperative type thermal oxidation system with a built on heat exchanger unit (with a thermal efficiency of 85%) and ancillary ventilation/exhaust collection system designed for McGhan Medical Corporation (McGhan), a medical prosthetic manufacturer of silicon breast implants, located in Santa Barbara, California. There is now available three (3) consecutive years of emissions source test data which verify the achievement of the overall equipment VOC destruction removal efficiency (DRE) initially projected at 98.5% or 10 ppmv.
