CONTROLLING THE EMISSION OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS FROM EQUIPMENT FOR RECLAIMING OILS

摘要

The emission of volatile organic compounds from apparatus for reclaiming used oils is controlled. Both the apparatus for reclaiming the used oils and the apparatus configured to control the emission of volatile organic compounds that are released at the reclaiming apparatus can be located on an over-the-road vehicle. The apparatus for reclaiming the used oils can be configured to be operatively associated with an electric transformer for reclaiming used oils in the transformer. The volatile organic compounds released in the apparatus for reclaiming used oils can first be heated and thereafter passed through a catalytic oxidizer in the apparatus configured to control the emission of volatile organic compounds, and the volatile organic compounds converted to gaseous products that are free of volatile organic compounds to a selected degree.
