Optional heat recovery systems with fast paybacks.

Permanent installations in loading terminals, chemical/petrochemical, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper plants, and other process industries.

 

VAPOR CONTROL UNITS

Thermal oxidization provides both environmentally and cost effective way of controlling VOC (volatile organic compounds).

Gasoline Loading Terminal Vapor Control Oxidizer with Flame Arrester Burners, Liquid Seal Drum, Vapor Booster Blower, Ladders/Platforms/Sample Ports

 

Results of 10 year study in 4 major Western Pennsylvania loading terminals, by Joseph Knoll, Gulf Oil retired, shows thermal oxidization the lowest overall cost when compared to refrigeration/compression and 2 different carbon adsorption units.

Operating Cost - Thermal Oxidization VS Refrigeration/Compression VS 2 Carbon Adsorption Units -- 10 Year Study -- 4 Gasoline Terminals WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA -- Thermal Oxidizer LOWEST OVERALL COST

NAO also maintains the world’s largest fleet of portable thermal oxidizers for emergency response/backup pollution solutions --- All sizes --- All capacities --- Lease, sale, rental.

These portable oxidizers are also used for new product or pilot plant testing without the capital expense of a permanent unit.

Examples

  1.  Major chemical manufacturer testing the best method of controlling emissions of a new plastic release agent.  One week VOC Wagon rental to determine the proper residence time and temperatures for emission destruction.  Produced data sheets for end users of release agent.
  2. Major specialty adhesive and chemical manufacturer in New England was faced with neighbor complaints and local township shutdown of plant.  NAO installed a VOC Wagon and worked with company to determine the products and flow causing the problem.  Trial burns were done for approximately 6 months to check the overall oxidizer effectiveness and also to learn of possible operational problems, such as fowling and plugging due to the adhesive nature of the waste stream.  NAO supplied a permanent unit and the rental unit was removed without an further neighbor complaints or township action.  The plant was also able to take advantage of NAO rent rebate program, since they purchased permanent equipment from NAO.

Portable VOCWagon Rental for QUICK RESPONSE to Neighbor Odor Complaints and Local Township Shutdown of Plant

The portable oxidizers can be rented on a daily, weekly or monthly basis with longer terms available by lease.  NAO also offers rental rebated for the purchase of a permanent unit.
