Rotor Introduction About VOC concentrator: VOC concentrator can effectively purify and concentrate VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) being contained in the exhausted stream from industrial factories. By being combined with incinerator or solvent recovery equipment, both initial and operating costs of the entire VOC abatement system can be drastically diminished. Function of the VOC concentrator *Purification The laden VOC(s) in the exhaust stream is purified by zeolite or other adsorbent while passing through the rotor and the purified air stream is vented into the atmosphere. *Concentration The laden VOC(s) in the exhaust air stream is adsorbed in the process zone and desorbed in the desorption zone by heated desorption air stream with much less air volume than that of process air stream. The concentration of VOC is concentrated nearly equal to the air volume ratio(5~15) of process and desorption (QP/QD). Applications of the concentrator *Painting booth (Automobile, Airplane, Furniture,... etc.) *Printing *Semi-conductor(DRAM/LCD/TFT/...etc) http://www.dtech.com.tw 21

Rotor performance The adsorption rates of the four VOCS species on the zeolite concentrator followed the order of PGMEA > PGME> IPA> acetone. This sequence was mainly y due to their relative boiling points. Notably, unless sufficient heat energy is supplied, the VOCS with high boiling points, including PGME and PGMEA, may not be desorbed d effectively downstream in the regeneration zone. If VOCS with high boiling points cannot be well desorbed, as days pass, they become saturated and form mists of high viscosity, which occupy the adsorption sites. This study also determined that the inlet relative humidity and temperature of the adsorption process affect the removal efficiency of VOCS, of which the relative humidity has a particularly strong effect. http://www.dtech.com.tw 39
