Ceramic honeycombs are applied as heat storage media in regenerative thermal processes to recover thermal energy.
Typical application examples are thermal air pollution abatement systems, based on regenerative thermal oxidation (RTO), thermal regenerators for process gases, heat storage media for decentralized Regenerative Housing Ventilation systems (RHV) or heat storage applications in renewable energy generation systems.
The main area of application for ceramic honeycombs are still RTOs for destruction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
Typical industries that use such regenerative thermal oxidation systems include the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, paint and paper manufacturers, wood processing companies, and the electronics and semiconductor industries amongst others.
