RAPID Technology Showcase Featuring Captis Aire
Join Kim Tutin, Founder and CEO of Captis Aire, who will describe an alternative emissions control device, the Fluidized Bed Concentrator (FBC). Baseline technology, the Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) controls emissions by oxidizing them. This is expensive and creates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. By contrast, the FBC uses activated carbon to efficiently adsorb and recover emissions. The FBC’s process intensification characteristics enable 1) Reduced Energy Usage, 2) Reduced Operating Costs, 3) Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and 4) Recovery of Valuable Organics. The technology is new to wood drying operations used in wood pellet, oriented strand board (OSB), plywood, etc. manufacturing. But, it is used commercially today in industries such as automotive.
RAPID Technology Showcases are available to employees of RAPID Member Organizations.
