You likely need a thermal oxidizer if your waste gas stream has very low heat content below 200 Btu per standard cubic foot, contains hazardous compounds requiring advanced destruction technology, or your permit demands destruction rate efficiencies up to 99.9%. Standard flares and combustors work well for higher-Btu streams, but thermal oxidizers are specifically engineered for difficult waste gases that require the combination of high temperature, residence time, and turbulence to ensure total decomposition.

Hero Process Solutions thermal oxidizers are designed for waste gas streams with destruction rate efficiency requirements up to 99.9%, low-Btu waste gases below 200 Btu per standard cubic foot, and hazardous gases that require advanced technology for total destruction. The systems decompose waste gases into inert byproducts like water and carbon dioxide by operating at chamber temperatures between 1400 and 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. Applications include oil and gas production facilities, chemical processing plants, landfill gas operations, and any industrial site where standard flaring or combustion cannot meet the required DRE or permit conditions.

Thermal oxidizers typically require a higher upfront investment than standard flare systems due to the advanced combustion chamber, ceramic lining, and automated PLC-based burner management system. However, Hero Process Solutions thermal oxidizers can reduce assist gas consumption by up to 30% compared to regular flare systems by utilizing the heat content of the waste gas and controlling the air-to-fuel ratio. This fuel savings, combined with guaranteed 99 to 99.9% destruction efficiency and full EPA 40 CFR 60.18 compliance, often makes thermal oxidizers the more cost-effective long-term solution for low-Btu or hazardous waste streams.

Manufacturing and delivery timelines for Hero Process Solutions thermal oxidizers depend on the unit size, chamber configuration, and any custom engineering requirements for your specific waste gas composition. Each system is built with standard features including a ceramic-lined stack, automated BMS with PLC controls, flame arrestor, and high-temperature safety shutdown. Hero has engineering teams at both the Kellyville, Oklahoma headquarters and the Midland, Texas office ready to support project planning and commissioning.

Hero Process Solutions thermal oxidizers guarantee a destruction rate efficiency of 99% to 99.9% and are fully 40 CFR 60.18 compliant. This performance is achieved through the Three T’s principle: Time, Temperature, and Turbulence. The combustion chamber heats to between 1400 and 1800 degrees Fahrenheit while waste gases are mixed with controlled amounts of air, and the mixture resides in the chamber long enough to fully decompose into inert byproducts such as water and carbon dioxide. Temperature-controlled operation and automated PLC-based burner management ensure consistent DRE across varying process conditions.

Yes. Hero Process Solutions thermal oxidizers feature unlimited turndown as a standard capability, meaning the system maintains its guaranteed destruction rate efficiency even when waste gas flow rates drop significantly below the design maximum. The automated burner management system with PLC controls adjusts chamber temperature and air ratios in real time to sustain the required residence time and turbulence at any operating point. This eliminates the need for bypass systems or supplemental equipment during low-flow periods and ensures continuous compliance without operator intervention.
