According
to the public relations department of TPC, the major environmental project which
is aimed at gathering and disposing pollutant gases in the ABS unit of the
facility, was launched officially in November.
Since its
launch, it has been repeatedly examined by environmental monitors since then
and its functionality has been approved by the related authorities.
The unit’s
construction began in 2016 with Rl. 640 billion of investment.
An RTO is
a piece of industrial equipment used for the treatment of exhaust air.
The
system is a type of thermal oxidizer that uses a bed of ceramic material to
absorb heat from the exhaust gas. It then uses this captured heat to preheat
the incoming process gas stream and destroy air pollutants emitted from process
exhaust streams at temperatures ranging from 815 °C (1,500 F) to 980 °C (1,800
F).
With the
implementation of the project, a significant portion of the volatile organic
compound (VOC) content of the ABS unit is collected through a channel using a
blower system and sent to a special furnace at 800 to 1000° C temperatures.
