A new type of compact, portable fixed-bed reactor integrated with a heat transfer system was developed for the removal of volatile and flammable air pollutants such as lean methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The reactor may operate in catalytic or thermal combustion conditions with the purpose of achieving autothermal processes with the possibility of energy recovery. An excess heat recovery point was designed behind the reactor bed at the place where the gas temperature is the highest to enable its usage. The mathematical model is presented together with a number of simulation calculations performed for the assessment of the developed reactor. The case study in this paper was for catalytic methane oxidation at a temperature of 400 °C, a methane concentration between 0.1% and 2% by weight, a gas flow rate of 1 m3/s STP, and a heat exchange surface for the assumed plate exchanger from 10 to 200 m2. The calculations show that the thickness of the insulation is of little importance for the operation of the equipment, and a sufficient thickness was about 20–50 mm. The optimal area for the considered case is 80–100 m2. It was found that recovery of thermal energy is possible only for higher methane concentrations, above 0.3% by weight. Using an appropriate surface for the exchanger, it is possible to recover even 50% of the combustion enthalpy at a methane concentration of 0.45% by weight. For an exchanger area below 50 m2, the recoverable energy drops rapidly. It was found that the exchanger area is the most important equipment parameter under consideration. |
