Development of a Plasma-Dump Combustor for VOC Destruction

Abstract:

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are gases with low calorific values produced from the painting or drying process whose stable combustion cannot be ensured by direct combustion. In this study, a novel plasma-dump combustor was proposed to remove the VOCs. The combustor is combined the concept of a plasma burner, a dump combustor and a 3D matrix burner. Therefore, it can achieve high destruction with low input energy and stable flame at low temperature.The toluene was used as a representative VOC. The toluene reduction characteristic was examined according to the total gas feed, toluene concentration, dump injector position, and 3D matrix heat accumulator. The toluene decomposition efficiency was 99.5%, and the energy efficiency was 447.2 g/kWh was at the optimum operating conditions.
