VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds, which are mixtures of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon compounds with varying molecular sizes and chemical structures. VOC control is a critical issue across many industries, including petrochemical and chemical processing, storage tank venting, gas displacement during filling, and exhaust from painting and solvent applications.
Taiwan Heat Transfer provides VOC recovery solutions using condensation technology. This method involves cooling and pressurizing VOC-laden gases to condense the vapors back into liquid form, enabling efficient recovery and reuse.
The main advantage of condensation-based VOC recovery is the ability to reclaim VOCs in liquid form for reuse. Although the method can be energy-intensive, it is highly effective for high-concentration organic exhaust gases, offering:
-
High recovery efficiency (over 90%)
-
No secondary pollution
-
Lower energy consumption compared to RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer)
-
Ideal for single-component or high-value VOCs, especially in industries where solvent recovery is required
Its modular design allows flexible handling of mixed VOCs, and the system's instant start/stop capability makes it particularly suitable for intermittent emission sources.
