ZX-RCO Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizer
The ZX-RCO regenerative catalytic oxidizer integrates catalytic oxidation with regenerative heat recovery, enabling efficient VOC destruction at lower temperatures compared to thermal oxidation. This system is ideal for processes where energy savings and reduced thermal NOx formation are priorities.
Key Selling Points
- Energy-Saving Operation: Lower operating temperatures reduce fuel consumption.
- High Removal Efficiency: Achieves up to 99%+ VOC destruction with catalyst assistance.
- Continuous Operation: Designed for reliable continuous duty in process plants.
- Compact Footprint: Cat-alytic systems often require less space than comparable thermal units.
- Material Flexibility: Available in carbon steel, SS304, or SS316L to suit gas composition.
- Tailored Solutions: Customized to handle variable concentration exhaust and specific pollutants.

Models and Options
ZX-RCO series includes various models to match flow rates and VOC loads. Options include catalyst replacement, heat recovery enhancement, and integration with existing control systems.
Materials and Structure
The system comprises a combustion chamber with catalyst bed, heat exchange media (ceramic or metallic), and switching valves. Materials are chosen based on process gas corrosivity: carbon steel for less aggressive streams, SS304/SS316L for corrosive applications.
Applications
Ideal for pharmaceutical plants and fine chemical manufacturing where VOC emissions and solvent vapors with variable concentrations are common. Also suitable for coating and petrochemical operations.
Customization
Zexuan offers customized ZX-RCO systems for specific waste gas conditions, including catalyst selection based on pollutant types, and integration with heat recovery or flue gas treatment to meet emission standards.
Case Study
A specialty chemical manufacturer in Germany used the ZX-RCO to treat toxic and corrosive gases. The system was designed for 24/7 continuous operation, achieving high destruction efficiency and low emissions, meeting stringent local environmental standards. Zexuan provided a complete solution including burner, waste gas feeding, PLC control, and heat recovery.
FAQ
At what temperature does the catalyst operate?
Catalytic oxidation typically occurs at 300-500°C, significantly lower than thermal oxidation, though the system includes a thermal chamber capable of higher temperatures for pre-heating or regeneration.
Does the catalyst need to be replaced?
Yes, catalyst life depends on operating conditions and feed composition. Zexuan provides guidance and replacement services.
Can the RCO handle chlorinated compounds?
Chlorinated compounds can deactivate catalysts; proper catalyst selection and pre-treatment may be necessary. Consult Zexuan for assessment.
What is the pressure drop across the system?
Pressure drop varies with flow and design; we optimize to minimize energy consumption.
Is the system easy to retrofit into existing plants?
Yes, we offer modular designs that can be integrated into existing infrastructure.
What after-sales support do you provide?
We offer installation, commissioning, training, and ongoing technical support.
