SYSTEM FOR REGENERATIVE THERMAL OXIDATION (RTO)

The present invention relates to a system (10) for regenerative thermal oxidation, and to a method for operating such a system (10). The system (10) comprises a group of regeneration chambers (14, 16, 8, 20) having at least four regeneration chambers, each provided with a heat exchanger, and, by way of valves, are connected to a supply line for switchably feeding a crude gas stream (22, 30), to a discharge line for discharging a purified gas stream (26, 34), and to a rinsing system. The system (10) is provided with a combustion chamber having a combustion space (12), by way of which the regeneration chambers (14, 16, 8, 20) of the group of regeneration chambers (13, 16, 18, 20) are interconnected. The system (10) is provided with a control unit for opening and closing the valves. When operating the system (10), a crude gas stream (22, 30) is introduced by way of the supply line, and a purified gas stream (26, 34) is discharged by way of the discharge line.
