Incineration of VOC: Babcock Wanson supplies a regenerative oxidiser with unequalled performance characteristics to Aker Yards Saint-Nazaire

The regenerative oxidiser built by Babcock Wanson for the Saint-Nazaire shipyard of Aker Yards is designed to process 330,000 Nm3/h of air from the gigantic workshops where the hull sections of the ships under construction receive their primary painting. Processing such a volume of air in a single unit represents an exceptional achievement, taking into account that the capacity of a conventional oxidiser is normally limited to approximately 110,000 Nm3/h. To overcome this problem, Babcock Wanson has placed an effluent concentrating system called “rotoconcentrator” upstream of the oxidiser. The rotoconcentrator consists of two zeolite wheels and enables to reduce the effluent volume to 1/15th of its initial value. This unique achievement underlines once again Babcock Wanson’s outstanding know-how and expertise in processing volatile organic compounds (VOC) and odours in any industrial sector.
