Electric Oxidizers. Defined.

Aeros VoltOx ecoRTO is an electric alternative to traditional Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers and eliminates any new source emissions onsite. It is a safe, simplified, solution designed to reduce an organization’s natural gas consumption and its carbon footprint.

This specialized electric regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO), system has all the capabilities of a traditional RTO while adding the benefits of being a flameless solution. Aeros VoltOx ecoRTO offers a solution to eliminate the use of natural gas by removing the natural gas burner and replacing it with an electric heating element.

Conifer Systems is dedicated to revolutionizing the emissions control market as an original equipment manufacturer, through the introduction of innovative solutions that encourage environmental stewardship in voluntary and regulatory markets. The Aeros VoltOx ecoRTO (trademark) offers a solution in supporting organizations who wish to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Our electric regenerative thermal oxidizer (ecoRTO) enables organizations to work towards their sustainability goals by eliminating NOx and CO emissions from natural gas burners and adopting fully electric solutions. By implementing the Aeros VoltOx ecoRTO, and replacing dependency of natural gas burners in thermal oxidizers, companies can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

The Aeros VoltOx ecoRTO is an innovative solution that does not compromise on the effectiveness of traditional regenerative thermal oxidizers while enhancing the overall safety. This electric technology operates without a combustible fuel source. By eliminating the burner and becoming flameless, the Aeros VoltOx ecoRTO removes the equipment failures which can be associated with operating on natural gas. This design also reduces the need for hazardous areas, as the solution has no gas train.

The simplified design of the Aeros VoltOx ecoRTO is comprised of fewer subsystems, making it more reliable than the traditional regenerative thermal oxidizer. Unlike traditional RTOs, this electric solution has no purge or other NFPA requirements, no gas train, no need for combustion air, and no burner management system because it has no burner. This makes tuning and daily operation easier. Additionally, the Aeros VoltOx ecoRTO incorporates modular heating elements for easy maintenance. Overall, the simplified design of the Aeros VoltOx ecoRTO makes it more convenient for daily operation.

Shifting to electric energy instead of natural gas can help to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of an organization’s overall operations. The transition to electric energy can significantly reduce emissions such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The Aeros VoltOx ecoRTO operates without the incremental emissions from the oxidation process and does not produce additional NOx from tailpipe emissions. This results in no incremental emissions to be considered onsite. The overall energy input for the equipment is also reduced by 4%-5% because 100% of heat is applied to process air, without any extra mass from combustion air or fuel gas.
