Thermal oxidation is the most flexible, efficient and reliable means of destroying hazardous and toxic chemical wastes - in some cases, the only solution. This method also presents options for recovery of energy and valuable by-products.
For more than six decades, we have supplied thermal oxidation/incineration systems worldwide, specializing in liquid and fume incineration of hazardous chemical wastes. Our scope of supply includes the oxidizer, heat recovery, by-product recovery and all other necessary equipment and controls to meet today’s stringent emission requirements. Linde Engineering's skills are unmatched when applying these advanced technologies to today's complex environmental disposal issues.
Our incinerators, solvent recovery systems and adsorption plants solve the pollution problems of the following industries:
Pharmaceutical
Chemical
Refining
Paper
Printing
Plant producers and users
Textile manufacturing and printing
Plastics and Olefins
Metals
Chemical Weapons and Munitions
Some processes allow for the recovery of acids, energy, metals, and salts.
