- Description
- This paper presents a discussion, an analysis, and literature review on the available pre-treatment options for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) prior to abatement. The abatement can be achieved through process and equipment modification, and aid on control techniques. Add on control techniques can be recovery or destructive based such as absorption, adsorption, condensation, membrane separation, and catalytic and thermal oxidation respectively. The pre-treatment methods considered in this paper are dilution, preheating, cooling, particulate removal, dehumidification and liquid knock – out. Pre-treatment is the process of conditioning a volatile organic compound stream and this increase the total cost of the treatment technologies. This paper also highlights the factors governing the selection and application of control technologies.
