| A
blower introduces the solvent laden air to the oxidizer. The stream
is pre-heated by exiting air from the same system in a chamber called
the heat exchanger. A burner heats the air to the required temperature
of 1500° F. The air is then passed through a combustion chamber
where oxidation takes place. The solvents are converted to CO2 and
H2O. Then, the CO2 and H2O are passed through the heat exchanger where
incoming air is preheated by the exothermic heat of the exiting air.
Finally, the air is discharged into the atmosphere. |
