Catalytic oxidation is a suitable technology for the treatment of waste gases containing low VOC concentrations. Catalytic combustion requires a certain temperature of the catalyst bed, which can beprovided by the gas stream itself or by external heating. Large amounts of energy can be required to maintain the reaction temperature, and the heat exchange section can take unreasonable dimensions, expecially if the mixture has a very low calorific value. In this case, the use of apparatuses for continues yet forced non‐stationary operation, with a regenerative heat transfer section, appears very promising.
