Low Volume High Concentration (LVHC) Non-conensable Gas (NCG) Collection and Thermal Oxidation, 1998 Cluster Rule Symposium Proceedings
This presentation focuses on compliance with control requirements for low volume high concentration non- ondensible gases. Topics include general LVHC NCG collection system design as well as modifications of existing systems to collect additional sources (condensate and turpentine tanks) and provide backup thermal oxidation for increased uptime. Continuous digester chip bin and blow tank collection is discussed separately as special design considerations apply to collection of these sources. LVHC NCG thermal oxidation options (boiler, kiln, dedicated direct-fired thermal oxidizer) are reviewed together with methods to utilize the LVHC NCG heat release.
