Afterburners
Direct-Fired Thermal Oxidizers for High-Load VOC, HAP & Smoke Applications
Stelter & Brinck afterburners, also known as direct-fired thermal oxidizers, enclosed flares, or vapor combustors, are designed for industrial air pollution control applications involving VOCs, HAPs, smoke, odors, and other process emissions.
Afterburners use high-temperature combustion to treat specified process exhaust streams. They are commonly considered for applications with higher pollutant concentrations, elevated exhaust temperatures, or opacity concerns.
Afterburners may be used for process exhaust streams associated with:
- Food and coffee processing
- Foundries and metal-treatment operations
- Pulp and paper manufacturing
- Industrial manufacturing processes
- Other applications involving specified VOC, HAP, smoke, odor, or combustible emissions
