1. Epcon: Leading Industrial
Manufacturer of Thermal
Cleaning Solutions
Thermal cleaning solutions are proven to be cost
effective and environmentally sound alternative
to traditional industrial cleaning methods. Epcon
has supplied thermal cleaning technology for a
variety of components, systems and services for a
broad range of products such and applications
across different industries.

2. Thermal
Deoilers
Thermal Deoiling is a process
that uses indirectly heated dry
air to clean parts contaminated
with oils or lubricants. No water,
solvents or other chemicals are
used. The basic thermal process
is well known, having been used
for many years in industrial
operations that require clean,
dry parts such as brazing,
coating, soldering and plating.

3. Burn Out
/ Burn
Off
Ovens
Burn off or Burn Out Ovens are
commonly used in the finishing industry
to remove paint or powder coatings
from metal hardware or equipment used
during the process, such as line hooks
and racks that transfer products through
the application and curing process.
These items become coated in the paint
and periodically need to be cleaned.
Burn off / Burn Out ovens are robust and
use a form of incineration called
pyrolysis by heating the material in an
oxygen-controlled environment to a
temperature that will destroy the
organic material.

4. Decontamination
Systems
Thermal Decontamination Systems
are a secure and effective means of
treating Hazardous and Volatile
Materials. Each system is designed to
manage the unique challenges of the
specific material to be processed.
Integrated Air Pollution Control
systems ensure environmental
compliance and available heat
recovery systems minimize operating
costs.
From concept through factory
acceptance testing, we fabricate and
assemble every component within
our 250,000 sq ft vertically integrated
manufacturing facility. Epcon
guarantees quality and performance
of our Decontamination Systems.

5. Specialty
System
Designed for
Decommissioni
ng Old Bombs
for the US
Military
Epcon was tasked with developing a
Decontamination System for the
Government to decommission old
bombs. This high-temperature
furnace, in heating principle and
design, was somewhat similar to a
Spheroidizing Furnace. The furnace
had to operate between 1200 to
1400°F and withstand continual batch
loads of 150,000 pounds of
bombshells. In addition, because of
the residual explosive charge in the
bomb shells, it was imperative that
the heating system was very safe,
such as steam or indirect heat and
the source had to be far away from
the decontamination chamber.

6. Decontaminati
on System for
Exposed
Military
Garments
EPCON developed a high air velocity
custom decontamination system to
achieve this objective of thermally
decontaminating the DPE suits at the
temperature range of 190-400°F. The
system is capable of reaching the
desired temperature at 15-20
minutes using electric heating
elements.
In the decontamination unit the high
velocity hot air is used to vaporize
and subsequently burn present gases
on the DPE suits. The high
velocity/high pressure recirculation of
air is designed to produce uniform
heating and DPE suits movement to
ensure complete decontamination
and prevent the surfaces of the suits
from sticking together.

Heat Recovery
for HVAC
Equipment
Supplier
EPCON designed an integrated system
consisted of Processing Oven,
featuring with Dual Lane Conveyor
system with precision lane
adjustment mechanism, unique air
distribution nozzles arrangement to
offer high and low-pressure air
impingement over specific areas of
HVAC coil. The combination of higher
recirculation rate and turbulence in
oven processing chamber offered end
user to achieve proper cleaning of
parts in shorter time.

8. Coil Coating
Line with
Regenerative
Thermal
Oxidizer and
Multistage
Heat Recovery
Evaluating the appropriate oxidation
system for a specific process stream is
more challenging and requires in
depth analysis of the specific process
gas and operating parameters, as
there are many configurations to
choose from. A Direct Fired
Afterburner, sometimes called an
incinerator, is the most elementary
system, as it contains no heat
recovery system. Ideal for high VOC
levels and fluctuating operating
conditions. Thermal oxidizers are
more sophisticated systems with a
variety of heat recovery systems and
configurations, typically used for
larger process air flows.

9. Thermal
Deoiler
Replaces Liquid
Based
Degreaser for
Automotive
Parts Supplier
Epcon proposed Thermal Clean
technology – a thermal deoiler.
Thermal Deoiling is a process that
uses indirectly heated dry air to clean
parts contaminated with oils or
lubricants. No water, solvents or
other chemicals are used. The
difference between an Industrial
Oven and a Thermal Deoiler is that
the deoiler burns the oil vapor in a
Thermal Oxidizer to provide clean, dry
heat for the deoiling chamber. In
effect, the oil itself is helping to clean
the parts while it is being oxidized to
carbon dioxide and water. A natural
gas fired burner in the Thermal
Oxidizer provides the balance of the
heat needed for complete destruction
of the oil, while Indirect heating
avoids condensation of water or oil
vapor in the deoiling chamber or on
the parts.

AC
Manufacturer
Epcon has vast experience in
designing and building Thermal
Deoiling systems for industrial
products such as Drill Pipes and Heat
Exchanger tubing. Based on our
experience, Epcon offered the
Thermal Deoiling solution to a major
automotive manufacture. Epcon
designed and patented a Thermal
Deoiler Cleaning system to be paired
with a Thermal Oxidizer, and a
primary and secondary heat
exchanger for the application. The
system not only ensures zero
emissions, but also eliminates the use
of toxic deoiling and cleaning
chemicals and waste water post-
treatment.
