Chlorinated hydrocarbons - Chemical & Pharmaceuticals - Fine Chemicals

The Pharmaceutical industry uses different processes to create chlorinated hydrocarbons. In a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) the chlorinated organic contaminants are destroyed at high temperature. Chlorinated hydrocarbons - among others - are converted into hydrogen chloride which produces a hydrochloric acid solution after quick cooling in the quencher. The hydrochloric acid solution is removed through a downstream alkali scrubber. CTP`s special design of the RTO`s purified gas exchanger impedes the formation of dioxins and furanes.

Summary: The hazardous chlorinated hydrocarbons are completely destroyed without residue. There is no generation of hazardous by-products, e.g. dioxins.
