  • Apparatus and method for removal of volatile organic compounds for gas streams
    Patent number: 5484574
    Abstract: Volatile organic compounds present in a gas stream are removed by an apparatus which provides for introduction of a gas stream into the interior of a vessel having a plurality of catalytic pads. The vessel includes a heat source to bring the pads to operating temperature, the pads being arranged in a spaced-apart axially extending array defining a serpentine path through which the gas stream flows. The heat source includes a plurality of catalytic heaters which extend the length of the unit to define the walls thereof. The pad array and catalytic heater walls oxidize a portion of the volatile organic compounds present in the incoming gas stream.
