Thermal Oxidisers
23 April 2025
With over 480 Thermal Oxidisers installed worldwide, Babcock Wanson has unrivalled expertise in Thermal Oxidiser technology.

Each thermal oxidiser installation is unique and brings its own challenges. Babcock Wanson provides a full in-house service from careful process review at the investigation and design phase through to final commissioning to ensure our solution is fully optimised to the application and gives the lowest long-term running costs.
Recuperative Oxidisers:
Targeted at industrial process where there is a combination of energy demand and effluent oxidation. These types of Thermal Oxidisers are mainly suitable for higher VOC concentrations and lower effluent flow rates.
- Continuous control of emissions
- Simplicity of control and management
- Quick start up
- High energy recovery
- Safety and reliability with full hazard audit
- Range of effluent 500 to 30,000 Nm³/h
Regenerative Oxidisers:
Used where there is no requirement for heat recovery, or the amount of heat that can be recovered is too small to justify a Thermal Recovery Oxidiser. As effective as Recuperative Thermal Oxidiser, with lower NOx emissions
- Suited to high flow, low VOC content exhaust streams
- Continuous control of the emissions
- Simple management of operation
- Reduced maintenance
- Reduced gas/fuel consumption
- Self-contained plant which doesn’t produce waste or heat requiring recovery
- Range from 1,000 to 150,000 Nm³/h
- Drake Extrusion awards process heating order to Babcock Wanson
- Full steam ahead with carbon cuts
- BWD Series of Fire Tube Steam Boilers
- One third savings
- Service & Maintenance
- Steam generators for pharma firm
- TPC-B Thermal Fluid Heater
- Big and bold: Creating a Promethean monster
- Babcock Wanson launches FM Pack Water Tube Boilers
- Energy efficient process heating
