Regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTO) are widely employed by chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical plants to effectively destroy volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and harmful air pollutants. Most RTO systems utilize Christy Fill honeycombs or T-99 ceramic media beds to capture waste heat generated by combustion while preheating combustion air for efficiency. RTO stands for Reversible Thermal Oxidation […]

Raschig rings are an extremely popular packing material used for moonshine still distillation, due to their porous ceramic composition and ability to allow vapors to pass freely across large surface areas without becoming trapped and choked off in any given section of your column. Furthermore, their inert nature means they should last forever so long […]

Raschig rings for water aeration can help prevent the development of harmful algal blooms, according to this article from Kasco Marine. Aeration increases surface area available for gas exchange and can reduce oxygen requirements; however, depending on how and where an aerator is installed this system may or may not work as effectively. Raschig rings […]
