Original abstract
A range of methods is used for the treatment of gas or liquid organic compounds. The thermal treatment of wastes can be considered as one of the most frequently used and most efficient processes. This method is based on a high temperature oxidising organic compounds by oxygen from air when inert (i.e. not harmful) gases like CO2 and H2O are generated. A new equipment for the thermal treatment of gas wastes i.e. incineration of volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide contained in polluted air has been developed. This is in fact a process for the thermal treatment of this type of wastes placed into one compact equipment consisting of a combustion chamber (incinerator) combined with heat exchanger (polluted air preheater). This equipment can be used in various branches of industry (for the treatment of polluted air from paint shops, chemical cleaning systems, degreasing processes, printing machines, gas wastes from various chemical processes, for the thermal treatment of off-gases originating in refineries, in production of plastics, pharmaceutical industry, food industry, laboratories, etc.). Principal steps in the research and development are briefly described as follows: idea and basic conception, design geometry, using simulation for setting basic process parameters, developing a computer program for thermal and hydraulic calculation of this equipment, design of a research facility in an industrial scale, experimental research and measurements, a procedure for verification mathematical models including computational fluid dynamics simulation, recommendation for industrial application.
