Chloro-CatTM
Catalytic Oxidizer


Global Technologies' Chloro-CatTM catalytic oxidizer destroys halogenated or mixed organic vapor contaminants that are discharged from soil vapor extraction and groundwater treatment systems, such as airstrippers, during site remediation.

How the Chloro-CatTM Works
The Chloro-Cat model is selected based on volume of airflow, contaminant type and desired destruction efficiency. During operation, VOC-laden air is drawn through the Chloro-Cat's fan and is discharged into the system's heat exchanger. The air passes through the tube side of the heat exchanger and into the burner, where the contaminated air is raised to the catalyzing temperature. When the VOC-laden air passes through the specialty catalyst, an exothermic reaction takes place. The VOC's in the air stream are converted to carbon dioxide, water vapor, and inorganic acids.

The hot, purified air then passes on the shell side of the heat exchanger where the energy released by the reaction is used to preheat the incoming air. This minimizes the system's fuel costs; in many cases the Chloro-Cat is self-sustaining. Finally, the contaminant-free air is exhausted into the atmosphere. In some cases, a Global scrubber module may be required to neutralize the inorganic acids.

Global's Fully Integrated Approach
The Therm-Cat was designed as part of Global's entire line of soil and groundwater remediation products. The Global line of products, which includes Vapor Liquid Separators (Knockout Pots), Extraction Blower Packages, Oxidizers, and Acid Gas Scrubbers, is technologically advanced as well as user-friendly. Each module interfaces easily and is constructed for optimum performance and trouble-free operation.

When networked, the Global modules form a comprehensive subsurface remediation system that works continuously and automatically to achieve site closure quickly. In addition, Global's modular approach allows rapid deployment and provides the flexibility necessary to successfully perform site remediation under a wide variety of conditions.

System Components
Standard Chloro-Cat systems include a shell and tube heat exchanger, modulating burner, fuel train, catalyst bed, fan, motor, fresh air dilution valves, flanged inlet and outlet, system controls, LEL monitor, temperature recorder, first-out shutdown detector, flame arrestor and exhaust stack. The system's components are housed in a weatherproof, insulated steel cabinet with three access doors that allow service to all internal parts.

Safety Shutdowns
The system will shut down safely and automatically if any of the following occur:
  • Electrical power loss to the control panel.
  • Loss of proper airflow.
  • High/low temperature or gas pressure.
  • Flame out of the burner.
  • System operation above 25% LEL.
  • High level in Vapor Liquid Separator.
The PLC-driven, first-out shutdown detector will indicate the cause of a shutdown on a liquid crystal display.

Options
  • Remote monitoring/communication package.
  • Acid gas scrubber.
  • Integrated extraction blower.
  • Trailer-mounted.
  • Exhaust stack extensions.
  • U.L. labeled panel.
  • NFPA Class 1 Division 2 explosion-proof design.
  • Larger or custom systems available.
  • Flame arrestor.
