Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizer (RCO)

A combustion device where the burner(s) can directly heat the VOCs or HCs after the gas stream is preheated to the destruction temperature by the periodic flow reversal of the gas stream through catalytically coated heat storage media that alternately have been heated by the product gases during an exhaust cycle and then have given up their heat to the incoming reactant gases during an inlet cycle.
