RTO controls Chlorinated Exhaust from a Groundwater Treatment Facility

摘要

A Fortune 50 company implemented a remedial project to collect and treat polluted groundwater from a site in Central New York, preventing polluted groundwater from flowing into local waterways. An engineering and construction firm was hired to design and build an effective, efficient groundwater treatment system. Collection of the polluted water would be done with air strippers and equalization tanks then sent to a facility located along the shoreline of a nearby body of water for treatment. The off-gases from these collection devices would contain Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) laden air that would require further treatment before being released to the atmosphere. The expected VOCs included benzene, chlorobenzene and dichlorobenzene. The design-builder required a treatment system that could destroy 99% of the VOCs and safely remove any of the resultant inorganic acid that would be formed. As this was a longterm project, the VOC control system needed to be highly reliable and provide low operational costs.
