Afterburners are the simplest type of Thermal Oxidizer. These environmental systems are also called Direct Fired Thermal Oxidizers, Enclosed Flares or Vapor Combustors and are used to destroy industrial pollutants.

Afterburners are recommended for use when there is a very high concentration of VOCs in the process air. Applications include: food and coffee processing, foundries, pulp & paper manufacturing, metal treatment, ect.

During the thermal combustion process, the pollutants are chemically changed into harmless combustion by-products, water and carbon dioxide, both of which can be discharged through the exhaust.
