VOC REMOVAL SYSTEM UTILIZING ENGINE EXHAUST HEAT FROM COGENERATION FACILITY AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a VOC removal system utilizing engine exhaust heat from cogeneration facilities which enables the saving of heat energy to heat VOCs for purification by raising the temperature of harmful VOCs produced by a gas generation source by utilizing the exhaust gas discharged by an engine for power generation. SOLUTION: The VOC removal system utilizing engine exhaust heat from cogeneration facilities comprises: an engine for power generation burning a fuel to generate electric power; a first heat exchanger for heating VOCs supplied separately from the exhaust gas discharged by the engine as a heat source; a first catalyst reactor charged with a catalyst which decomposes the supplied VOCs through oxidation for removal by heating by the first heat exchanger; and an exhaust gas vapor boiler which heats water supplied separately, with the gas purified by oxidation decomposition of VOCs in the first catalyst reactor as a heat source, so as to generate vapor and supplies the generated vapor to units requiring vapor.
