  • Process for thermal VOC oxidation
    Patent number: 5516499
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing the emissions from a thermal oxidizer for volatile organic compounds (VOC) containing waste gases. The waste gas is treated in a thermal reactor and either before, in or after the thermal reactor the waste gas is contacted with a catalyzed surface device in the gas stream within the thermal oxidizer. The catalyzed surface device has a catalyzed surface which contacts the waste gas and further oxidizes the waste gas.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 1995
    Date of Patent: May 14, 1996
    Assignee: W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn.
    Inventors: Carmo J. Pereira, Rodney J. Schwartz
