Since 1983, Jay Klaus has been recommending and applying state-of-the-art low NOx and VOC control technologies to a wide range of industries such as chemical, paper, steel, and landfill gas recovery. These technologies are critically important to comply with the Clean Air Act’s ever increasing emission standards.
Some states require NOx emissions to be less than 9 PPM which can be achieved by applying custom combustion control technology. This eliminates the need for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), which can mean project savings of up to 25% or more of capital investment.
Economics always plays a part in selecting the best available control technology (BACT). It is always wise to consider the operating fuel costs in any project development. The addition of heat recovery technologies can change the economics of any project. One option to consider is an ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) which can generate electrical power from the exhaust of a thermal oxidizer.
Jay has been involved in more than 1,500+ thermal oxidizer applications and many have taken advantage of a heat recovery option to reduce operating fuel costs. The incorporation of waste heat recovery using a heat exchanger can reduce auxiliary fuel consumption by 60-70%. Today’s manufacturing facilities strive to achieve maximum production efficiency and minimum fuel consumption to improve profitability.
Klaus Equipment can provide a project feasibility study to determine profitability and the best heat recovery option to improve ROI (Return on Investment).
