4. Thermal Fluid Heaters
A thermal fluid system is an industrial heating system that utilizes a special heat transfer liquid,
often a form of oil, that is recirculated by a pump through a fired heat exchanger, that raises
temperatures for the use of various heating processes. There are many types of thermal fluid
heaters, often referred to as waste heat boilers, waste heat hot water heaters, or oil heaters.

5. Burnerless & Indirect Fired
Heating Systems
Every burnerless or indirect fired heating system is a crowning achievement for Epcon’s engineering
team. Our expertise lies in advanced heat recovery methods and integration of the process heating
operations with the air pollution control systems. Our integrated “Oven/Oxidizer Combination” design is
one of Epcon’s engineering specialties, with several patented systems proven across multiple installations
around the globe.

6. Multistage Heat Recovery for Aluminum Recycling Facility
Aluminum parts producers are looking to metals recovery systems to control costs of primary and
secondary aluminum purchases and to mitigate their operating cost by capturing value from
byproducts. A metals recycling operation in Arkansas needed to upgrade their existing system,
which was an early design pretreatment system with rudimentary drying technology.

7. Comprehensive Paint Coating System with 3-Can RTO, Multistage Heat Recovery, and Curing and Bake Ovens
In painting or coating industrial products, such as metal coils, pipes, drums and the like, it is well known to use gas-fired ovens which
will dry painted or coated products and yield a gaseous effluent containing a substantial amount of combustible constituentssuch as
hydrocarbons. Such ovens may be operated at low temperature, intermediate temperature, or high temperature, depending upon
the type of coating and the particular stage in the processing of the coated product. It is common in the operation of industrial ovens
to vent the gaseous effluent from individual ovens into separate fume incinerators.

8. Integrated System with Prime and Finish Ovens, Thermal Oxidizer and Heat Recovery for a Coil Coating Application
Meeting current federal and state regulations can often compromise fuel costs and operational efficiency,
leaving companies spending more money and time than necessary to fix a specific problem. One recent
Epcon customer in the metal processing industry was looking to replace a coating line Ovens &
standalone Thermal Oxidizer system.

9. Thermal Cleaning and Air Pollution Control with 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.

10. Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer and Heat Recovery System for Aluminum Recycling Operation
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. For this application , an 18,000 SCFM Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer with Primary and Secondary Heat
Exchanger was installed. This eliminated the need for the natural gas burner in the Rotary Kiln all together.

recycling-operation/

11. 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.

12. Coil Coating System for Metal Processing Featuring Oxidizer, Ovens and Multistage Heat Recovery
After extensive evaluation and consideration of the existing system operation, it was determined that the optimal solution
for this application is the use of a combination system layout, consisting of a 3-Zone Prime Oven & 4-Zone Finish Oven
with a single standalone Thermal Oxidizer system, along with the secondary heat recovery system. The combination
system works to capitalize on every part of the process, ensuring no heat nor material go to waste.

13. Thermal Oxidizer with Comprehensive Heat Recovery for Continuous Web Processing Application
Epcon was awarded the major contract to build a Thermal Oxidizer with Comprehensive Heat Recovery for this continuous
web processing application. This patented designed Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer achieves 98 to 99.5% DRE on a 2-CAN
RTO. This particular system has a high solvent by pass in case the system overloads, with an Oxidization system equipped
with a plate and shell Heat Exchanger, to recycle the heat back into the Ovens. Also, it features an air-to-liquid built in Heat
Exchanger.
