CO/VOC Oxidation
Peerless supplies CO/VOC oxidation systems for a variety of applications. The basic function of the oxidation system is to oxidize carbon monoxide (CO) and a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This reaction is achieved without the use of any additional chemical reagent. The catalyst is the only component used to influence (accelerate) the oxidation reaction.
The CO/VOC oxidation system (or reactor) typically consists of a series of CO/VOC catalyst modules arranged in an internal support. Each catalyst module contains elements of the catalyst material that actually influences the chemical reaction. The catalyst support structure is intended to support the catalyst modules and seal the perimeter space between the modules and the housing to prevent exhaust and ammonia bypass.
For CO and NOx applications the CO/VOC oxidation reactor is separate from the SCR system and is typically located upstream of the SCR system. Because the presence of an oxidation system can affect the performance of the downstream SCR system, Peerless’ expertise can fully integrate the two systems for optimal performance.
