Modeling optimization for a typical VOCs thermal conversion process

Abstract

Aiming at the current environmental problems, the thermal oxidation treatment for industrial VOCs emission is a common and effective measure. This paper studies on the optimization effect of one optimization method for direct VOCs thermal oxidation of a color aluminum spraying production line based on Aspen-Plus. According to the direct VOCs thermal oxidation process with a 30000 m³/h circulating air volume, propose the flue gas reflux and coating room drainage technology. Use the second law of thermodynamics, and the exergy flow analysis shows the methane consumption could be reduced 12%. Carbon emissions also decreased significantly, with 3.42% reduction. These findings are practical for industrial production cost saving and environmental protection problems solving.
