THERMAL OXIDIZERS

Gasco Thermal Oxidizers include:

• Straight Thermal Oxidizers with or without heatrecovery

• Recuperative• Catalytic• Regenerative (RTO)

Gasco Thermal Oxidizers can handle a wide rangeof process parameters including variable waste flowrates, calorific values, temperature and oxygencontent.

Features of our Thermal Oxidizers are their robustperformance, ability to operate at high thermalefficiency and achieve >99.99 per cent destructionefficiency.

Gasco Thermal Oxidizers scope may include turnkeyprojects, designed to comply with our clientsspecifications and environmental authorityregulations.

We have supplied Thermal Oxidizers to the oil andgas, chemical, automotive, medical, food, mineralsand metals industries.

Heat from the exhaust of a Thermal Oxidizer can berecovered in a Waste Heat Recovery Unit, energycan be utilized in the form of heat transfer fluids –oil, water, air and to raise steam.

A Gasco RTO can provide average thermal efficiencyof up to 95+% and use about 20 times less fuelthan a TO with no heat recovery. In someapplications the VOC present in the waste gasstream may enable the Gasco RTO to operatewithout any supplementary fuel gas (except at startup). Destruction efficiency of up to 99.5+% isachievable.

Thermal Oxidizers are a class of pollution controldevices that use the combustion process to destroyHCs, volatile organic compounds (VOC) andHydrogen Sulphide, hence they are sometimescalled afterburners, fume incinerators or tail gasincinerators.

F IRED HEATERS

A typical API 560 Fired Heater would consist of a:

• Radiant Section• Convective Section• Stack• Burners• Fuel Skid• Control System

Gasco being both a combustion and heat transfercompany is uniquely placed to achieve the bestpossible outcomes with respect to high thermalefficiencies, low emission, reliable operation andstate-of-the-art Burner Management Systems (BMS)to NFPA, IEC and other codes.

Gasco can supply cylindrical or box cabin type directfired heaters, equipped with low NOx natural draftor forced draft burners.

To increase efficiency, preheating of combustion aircan be achieved by adding a variety of air preheaterexchangers.

With the demand for ever increasing safety andreliability levels Gasco can design and supply BMS toIEC 61508 Programmable Electronic Safety Systems.We can also provide a basic hard wired system upto SIL 3.

Gasco convective heaters rely on forced convectionheating only, are compact and can achieve thermalefficiency of 90 per cent using convective heattransfer.

Fired Heater Upgrades for Existing units.

Gasco has upgraded old existing heaters to improveefficiency, safety and emissions using the latest PLCbased BMS and NOx reduction technology.

Gasco supplies Fired Heaters to API 560 andISO 13705 and proprietory Gasco forced draftconvective designs.

WATER BATH HEATERS

Water Bath Heaters can also be used for heating:

• High pressure gas• Crude Oil• Vaporizing and superheating LPG & LNG• Regeneration Gas Heating• Heat Transfer Fluids• Heat sensitive gas and fluids• Molten Salt Heaters• Direct Fired Reboilers• Amine Reboilers• TEG Reboilers

The main application for Indirect Fired Water BathHeaters is to heat high pressure gas prior topressure reduction, this prevents hydrate formationthat can occur because of the temperature dropdue to the Joule Thomson effect. The natural gascan also be post heated to suit the operation of gasturbines.

A typical water bath heater consists of an insulatedshell, removable process coil, removable fire tube,stack burner, gas train and control system.

Gasco options include:

• Natural Draft Burners• Forced Draft Burners• Pneumatic Gas Control• Electric (Electronic) Control• Remote Monitoring

Gasco can also supply complete gas conditioningskids consisting of Water Bath Heater, PressureReduction, Filter Coalescer and Metering.

Water Bath Heaters are Indirect Fired Typeusually designed to API 12K, these devices aretraditionally used to heat natural gas and oil.

Gasco together with our technology partner hassupplied flares to the oil and gas, flares forpetrochemicals, flares for terminals, flares forlandfill and flares for sewage (biogas) industries.


The gas fired heaters consist of two concentric helicalcoils which has the advantage of:

• Compactness• High Efficiency• Low Thermal Mass• Low weight (ideal for offshore applications)

The dual helical coil design allows maximized heattransfer, minimises thermal stresses and preventsoverheating. The coil design has the advantage thatensures high fluid velocities, low film temperatures andno accumulation of gases.

The burner can be selected to suit the application, typeof fuel – gas, oil, heavy oil, timber and turndown. Theflame shape is carefully matched to the coilconfiguration. Typical efficiency with air preheating canrange up to 90+ per cent depending on thermal fluidoutlet temperature, fuel, and atmospheric conditions.

Each heater has a pre wired control panel that ensuressafe and efficient operation of the heater.

As well as supplying heaters, we can provide skidmounted units that incorporate primary and secondarypumps, expansion tanks, stack and drain/fill tanks.

There are a myriad of applications that are suitable forhot oil heating.

• Gas Plant – Regeneration• Tank Heating – Bitumen, Wax, Emulsions• Reactor Heating – Chemical Industry, BioTech• Platen Presses – Timber Industry, Moulding• Hollow Flight Screws – Mineral Processing• Pipe Tracing – Heavy Fuel Oil, Bitumen, Wax• Ovens – Printing, Automotive• Extruders – Plastic• Fryers – Food• Calendar Rolls – Plastic, Film• Autoclaves – Aerospace, Rubber, Brick• Dryers – Timber, Food• Kilns – Timber
