RTO Ceramic Media & Catalyst Replacement Services
Nitro Environmental provides expert ceramic media replacement, catalyst replacement, and media cleaning services for Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO) and Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizers (RCO).
When you have your Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) or Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizer (RCO) inspected by a professional from Nitro Environmental, one of the things we’ll assess is your media. Ceramic media and catalyst are an essential part of your oxidizer investment. However, with time, wear and tear, or if the media is incorrectly placed or is the wrong type or size, media clogs can occur. Voids or channeling may also develop. Over time, the performance of the ceramics and catalyst decreases, costing you additional energy resources, reduced flow, increased pressure drop, and possibly lower destruction efficiency. To extend the life of the media, regular bed servicing and media replacement is essential.
Ceramic and Catalyst Media Replacement
If a media replacement is necessary for your oxidizer, Nitro Environmental can provide a complete turnkey solution that includes supplying the materials, removal of old media, installation of new media, and re-commissioning. We offer several makes and models of media, from random packed saddles to structured.
Often, we can perform a partial media replacement to offer a quick turnaround time and/or increase thermal efficiency. Most RTOs and RCOs should operate at 95 percent or greater thermal energy recovery. We can determine if your system is meeting this percentage and often improve it with a quick payback.
The following provides a list of makes and models of media we offer:
- Random packed
- Silica resistant
- Plug resistant
- Multi-layer
The Benefits of Media Cleaning
In order to improve the longevity of your media, regular media inspection and cleaning is essential. The benefits of media cleaning include reduced energy consumption, restored pressure drop, restored flow, and removal of a large portion of inorganics. This can be achieved by performing regular bake-outs and wash-downs. These services should only be performed by trained technicians.
