Cataburn® (Catalytic Burning VOC Abatement System)

Cataburn® has an especially great effect on the treatment of difficult-to-reuse mixed solvent gases and malodorous gases from painting, printing, chemical, electric wire, rubber, metal-casting, food, and livestock and fishery processing industries.
It can also be effectively used as post-treatment system to Admat®, a gas adsorptive enrichment system.

While direct combustion exhaust treatment system works at high temperatures from 700°C to 850°C, Cataburn®, which uses a catalyst for treatment, can operate at low temperatures from 250°C to 300°C.
It has a high margin regarding the SV value (exhaust gas volume/catalyst volume), and delivers high treatment efficiency with malodorus organic gas components even at low temperatures. It produces less NOx through high-temperature oxidation and consumes less fuel, resulting in smaller CO2 emissions.

Doubled & redoubled energy saving

In addition to low treatment temperatures, a plate-type heat exchanger achieves the heat exchange between treated and untreated gases, delivering a greater energy saving impact. A higher exhaust gas temperature, as seen in the case of a dry kiln, results in less fuel costs, and a higher concentration of solvents further reduces energy consumption by enabling the solvent to be used as fuel.

Minimal running cost

When Cataburn is used for the exhaust gas from a dry kiln that has the HC concentration of 500ppm or higher on a xylene basis, untreated gas preheated with a heat exchanger goes into self-sustained combustion on the catalyst surface. This reduces running costs to a minimal level.

Safe & easy to operate

Cataburn® operates with a full-automatic control system. It features one-touch simple operation and requires no license or qualification.
Its safety system, including the combustion monitoring system, performs the pre-purge, post-purge, and gas volume control operations.
