Catalytic Oxidizers
Industrial Catalytic Oxidizer Systems for Low-Temperature VOC & HAP Control
Stelter & Brinck catalytic oxidizers are designed for industrial air pollution control applications involving specified VOC- and HAP-laden process air streams.
Catalytic oxidizers operate at lower temperatures than many thermal oxidation systems and may be considered for applications where catalyst compatibility and energy use are important factors.
Our catalytic fume oxidizers are available with or without heat recovery and can be supplied as fully packaged, skid-mounted systems with prewired and prepiped assemblies.
Catalytic oxidizers may be considered for process air streams where catalyst-fouling agents or catalyst poisons are not present at levels that would interfere with operation.
Potential applications include:
- Aluminum and steel processing
- Bakeries and food processing
- Textile finishing
- Plastics and polymers
- Other industrial processes with specified VOC or HAP emissions

MODELS
CATALYTIC FUME OXIDIZER WITH HEAT RECOVERY (CFO-HX)
For suitable applications operating below 20% LEL, the CFO-HX combines catalytic oxidation with heat recovery to reclaim available heat from the process exhaust stream.
Catalytic oxidizers are generally suited for process air streams that are free of catalyst-fouling agents or poisons. Final suitability depends on the specific contaminant characteristics and operating conditions of the application.
The system operates within a specified temperature range, typically approximately 650°F–750°F, depending on application requirements and equipment configuration.
