FLAMELESS THERMAL OXIDIZER FOR OXIDIZING GASEOUS EFFLUENT STREAMS CONTAINING HYDROGEN GAS

A method for oxidizing a waste stream having hydrogen therein includes flowing the waste stream with hydrogen into an oxidant stream for mixing the streams in a proportion for providing a mixture below lower flammability limits (LFL), including the LFL of hydrogen; and introducing the mixed streams...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for oxidizing a waste stream having hydrogen therein includes flowing the waste stream with hydrogen into an oxidant stream for mixing the streams in a proportion for providing a mixture below lower flammability limits (LFL), including the LFL of hydrogen; and introducing the mixed streams into a ceramic matrix bed of a flameless thermal oxidizer maintained at a temperature above auto-ignition temperature of the mixture. A related apparatus is also provided.
