Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) for Landfill Gas Treatment<\/h2>\n\n

The landfill gas is continuously conveyed to the RTO system via the collection network by means of a vacuum generated by a compressor and is thermally treated there under controlled conditions.<\/p>\n\n

The system converts captured methane mainly to CO\u2082 and water, reducing the climate impact of methane emissions. Performance is assessed for the landfill gas composition and operating conditions.<\/p>\n\n

Auxiliary energy for start-up is provided electrically. Thanks to the energy-efficient plant design and regenerative heat recovery, the plant can operate autothermally after start-up at sufficient methane concentration and flow. Additional heating may be required during low-load or transient conditions. This significantly reduces both energy consumption and operating costs. <\/p>\n\n
