McGill AirClean's Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers Help Many Industries Comply with Emission Regulations
McGill AirClean's regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) systems combine effective destruction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with economical and dependable operation to comply with emission regulations at the lowest possible cost.
McGill AirClean's ThermaGrid™ RTOs are effective in controlling chemical emissions and VOCs in a wide variety of industries. ThermaGrid RTOs use a gridded-ceramic heat transfer block that controls VOC emissions and other chemical emissions at high-destruction efficiencies with low-energy consumption and minimal maintenance. These RTO systems are available in economical two-bed designs and in three-bed designs for increased VOC removal efficiency. The straight-through flow design stays clean and resists plugging and maintenance problems that plague other RTO designs.

Our ThermaGrid RTO system costs less to operate than conventional saddle-type
systems. The key to its efficient operation is the design of the gridded
ceramic blocks that serve as a heat transfer medium as it enters the
combustion chamber. 
Operating costs depend in part on how much energy is used to move the
gas through the system. Conventional saddle-type designs are expensive
to operate because the saddles restrict gas flow, creating a high pressure
drop. But a ThermaGrid system's gridded ceramic blocks allow straight-through,
laminar flow, resulting in a significantly lower pressure drop. That
means lower horsepower requirements and lower operating costs.
