PROJECT CONDITIONS

Design basis and emission source

Industry Pharmaceutical and fine chemical production
VOC source Solvent recovery vents, drying and reactor exhaust
Key risk Halogens, corrosive compounds and catalyst poisoning
Selected approach Detailed solvent review before selecting catalytic oxidation, RTO or scrubbing combination
Catalyst media used for pharmaceutical solvent VOC treatment review
ENGINEERING REVIEW

Challenges

Pharmaceutical solvent lists change by product. Chlorinated solvents, acid gases or catalyst poisons may make catalytic oxidation unsuitable without upstream treatment.

SOLUTION

Selected treatment approach

The page frames the engineering review: solvent list, concentration range, corrosion, LEL margin, pretreatment, catalyst choice and compliance monitoring.

OUTCOME

Operating result

This case improves credibility with technical buyers because it acknowledges limitations instead of claiming that one oxidizer fits every solvent stream.

Values are examples for page structure and should be replaced with measured project data when the final case record is available.

PROJECT EVALUATION

Send VOC data for catalytic oxidizer sizing

Share airflow, VOC composition, concentration range, temperature, humidity, dust or mist content, operating schedule and required emission limit. We will review whether a catalytic oxidizer, RCO, RTO, zeolite rotor or carbon system is the better fit.
