1. Introduction
As the name suggest control of VOCs emission, by used for
removal VOCs (volatile organic compounds) from polluted
air/gas by using different techniques. Catalytic oxidation is
one process.

In the previous Design Engineering (1A&1B) we have covered


following points:
1) Sources
2) Formation & Chemical reaction
3) Different types of techniques
4) Parameters involve
- Temperature
- Catalyst
- Concentration
- Energy requirement

In this semester involve

1) Take catalytic oxidation


2) Suitable parameters
3) Different catalyst used
4) Catalyst bed
5) Heat recovery system
6) Space velocity
2. Literature Review / Secondary Research:-

For detail study of project, literature used is as below:

 Sources of VOCs emission


 Study of history concentration of VOCs and study of
current concentration of VOCs in environment
 Some paint industry is used VOCs elimination technique
 Study of different VOCs removing technique
 Study of different causes of problem through VOCs
emission

 By using above points we came to know about different


problem causes by the VOCs emission. Its above
information we can select proper VOCs elimination
technique in industry .Catalytic oxidizer which can reduce
the concentration of VOCs.

Summary
 Flow diagrame of catalytic oxidizer:-
Catalytic oxidizer used for elimination of VOCs. Catalytic oxidizer
flow diagrame given as below. In this process Alumina , copper
oxide, Manganese Oxide. etc catalyst used.
3. Design Consideration for detail design part:-
3.1 Design for Performance , safety and Reliability
 Performance goal
In performance based approach, the focus of all decisions is
on the required performance in use of catalytic oxidizer to
eliminate VOCs with minimum Cost
 Safety
It has been noted that during catalytic oxidation process fire
hazards may take place and can be prevent by using a proper
warning alarm system. Hence temperature can be controlled easily.

 Maintain the VOCs inlet flow rate:

VOCs inlet flow rate and concentration of the polluted gas


are the key things that affect the efficiency of the process. If space
velocity increases the efficiency decreases, and if the temperature
increases the efficiency also increases.
 Determination of reliability
The reliability depends upon the interaction of the catalysts
used and the contaminants present in the polluted air/gas. Some
catalysts may cause coating the active surface of the catalytic
beds. So appropriate catalytic beds used in this technique after
applying different tests.
3.2 Design for Manufacturability & Assembly
How to Establish the desired outlet temperature of the
catalyst bed

 The energy released by the oxidation of the VOCs in the


catalyst bed will raise the temperature of the gases by an
amount, _T, as the gases pass through the catalyst bed. An
outlet temperature from the catalyst, and thus from the
reactor, must be specified that will ensure the desired level
of destruction of the VOC stream. As in thermal incinerators,
this value varies from compound to compound and also
varies from catalyst to catalyst. Final design of the
incinerator should be done by firms with experience in
incinerator design. The temperature values from 300 to
900F result in destruction efficiencies between 90 and 95
percent. To prevent deactivation of the catalyst a maximum
bed temperature of 1200F should not be exceeded. In the
example problem the catalyst outlet temperature, Tfi, is
selected to be 900F.

Calculate the waste gas temperature at the exit of the


preheater (primary) heat
exchanger
The waste gas temperature at the exit of the primary heat
exchanger is estimated in the same manner as for the thermal
incinerator. For the example, problem with a fractional energy
recovery of 0.70, a catalyst bed outlet temperature 900F,and a
waste gas inlet temperature 100F, the gas temperature at the exit
of the preheater becomes
The same considerations regarding the closeness of the
temperature of the exhaust gas, to its dew point apply to the
catalytic incinerator as they did to the thermal incinerator.
