Tennessee manufacturers face the same federal VOC emission limits as the rest of the US (NSPS and NESHAP subparts depending on industry), administered locally through the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). For plants in the Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga and Knoxville industrial corridors, a regenerative thermal oxidizer remains the default choice for high-flow, dilute VOC streams where thermal destruction efficiency of 95-99% is required.

Industries in Tennessee That Typically Need an RTO
n
- n
- Automotive supply and coating – paint shop exhaust with solvent loads that vary by shift
- Wood products and furniture finishing – high flow, low concentration streams ideal for RTO heat recovery
- Printing and converting – press exhaust, often paired with zeolite rotor concentration upstream
- Chemical and pharmaceutical operations – continuous processes requiring high uptime

Sizing and Permitting Considerations
n
We size each unit from your measured or estimated exhaust profile: design flow with peak factor, minimum autothermal point, and required destruction efficiency. For permitting support we provide performance guarantee documentation, expected emission rates and equipment specifications suitable for TDEC air permit applications.

What We Supply
n
PollutionCtrl supplies two-bed and three-bed RTO systems, rotary RTO configurations for space-constrained sites, and full auxiliary packages: burners, switching valves, ceramic media, PLC controls with safety interlocks, and optional heat recovery. Equipment ships internationally with installation supervision and commissioning support available.
