Thermal oxidation is a relatively high temperature process (approx 750-1100°C) which purifies an exit stream from the customers process through thermal combustion of the organic contaminants. The waste streams can be gaseous or liquid. They can be  combustible off gas from a process, an airstream contaminated with VOC’s from food production or a coating process for example. Or they could be an organic liquid that is contaminated with toxic  materials or an aqueous solution contaminated with organics and, or toxic materials

With correct oxidiser design, the resulting flue gases can in many cases be directly discharged to atmosphere without further treatment. For specific applications navigate to, Toxic waste destruction, VOC destruction, Energy conservation and capture, Energy from waste and Solid waste incineration.
