The Abused and Neglected RTO:
This is a picture of the hot face from one chamber of a 5-chamber RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer). This RTO was in trouble. It could no longer pull its designed air flow volume due to media plugging. The plant was forced to shut down critical sources, which crippled production.

A picture may be worth 1,000 words, but this one is worth nearly 12,000 blocks of Monolith, which is the number of blocks we handled over the course of the weekend. RHZ performed a media replacement on a 50KSCFM Durr Two-Tower RTO, and the job went so well we finished a day early.
The Results: The RTO's delta-p dropped from 24"WC to 9"WC, the main draft fan's online operating speed dropped from 55Hz to 36Hz, and thermal efficiency now exceeds 95%.
