Zeolite Rotor Concentrator

Zeolite Rotor Concentrator

Molecular sieve rotor systems that concentrate large-airflow, low-concentration VOCs before oxidation—cutting energy cost.

System fit

Where Zeolite Rotor fits

When exhaust volume is high but solvent concentration is low, oxidizing the full stream is expensive. A zeolite rotor adsorbs VOCs from the process air and desorbs them into a much smaller, richer stream sized for RTO or catalytic oxidation.

Process path

How the system works

The rotor turns continuously through adsorption, desorption, and cooling zones. Large process airflow is cleaned in the adsorption sector; a smaller desorption airflow carries concentrated organics to the downstream oxidizer.

  1. 01Large-volume process air enters the adsorption zone.
  2. 02Zeolite media captures compatible VOC molecules.
  3. 03A small heated stream desorbs and concentrates the VOCs.
  4. 04The concentrated stream is sent to RTO or catalytic oxidation.

Typical pollutants

  • Toluene and xylene
  • Acetates and alcohols
  • Ketones
  • Mixed coating and printing solvents

Engineering features

  • Adsorption, desorption, and cooling sectors
  • Rotor sealing and leakage control
  • Variable-speed drive
  • Desorption temperature control

Selection cautions

  • High-boiling or easily polymerized compounds require compatibility review.
  • Mist, particulate, and sticky aerosols must be removed before the rotor.
  • Purification performance depends on the complete downstream oxidation train.
