About Oxidation Equipment
Oxidation equipment combines elemental compounds with oxygen to form new compounds. Oxidation is a naturally-occurring chemical reaction. Rusting, for example is an oxidizing process that occurs when iron compounds corrode in the presence of oxygen and water. In terms of industrial applications, oxidation equipment is used to separate air pollutants into compounds that can be released safety into the atmosphere. In this way, oxidizers are used in a variety of industries to reduce emissions and control air pollution.
There are three main types of oxidation equipment: thermal oxidizers, catalytic oxidizers, and ultra-violet (UV) oxidizers. A thermal oxidizer consists of a single-chambered unit with a burner (propane or natural gas) and a stack. With thermal oxidation, the air is heated to a temperature that oxidizes the compounds. A catalytic oxidizer uses a metal catalyst (often platinum or palladium) to oxidize the contaminants at lower temperatures. With catalytic oxidation, the lower temperatures reduce the amount of nitrous oxide produced. A UV oxidizer destroys contaminants by exposing them to high-intensity UV light. Like other oxidation equipment, UV oxidation breaks existing chemical bonds.
