As the nation’s leading oxidizer service provider, we inspect, troubleshoot, repair, retrofit, and upgrade all RTO makes and models, including their control systems. Our technicians don’t just identify mechanical issues — they dig deeper to fix underlying problems that improve system performance, safety, reliability, and lifespan.
With RTOs, timely inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure high reliability, cost-effective performance, and lowest cost of ownership.
Our experienced field team is fully trained and equipped to service, repair, and/or upgrade all types of Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers, Concentrators, and their control systems. No one knows more about RTOs or offers a more comprehensive range of RTO services.
Our field technicians work on all makes and models of RTOs (not just a specific manufacturer’s) and offer unbiased, customized recommendations. What’s more, they’re trained to go beyond presenting mechanical problems to troubleshoot underlying issues common to certain RTO systems and industrial applications. As a result, you receive the optimal solution for your unique oxidizer system, application, and pain points – so your RTO operates more reliably and cost-effectively.
Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers are air pollution control systems designed to destroy volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from industrial exhaust streams. Known for high thermal recovery efficiencies, they can greatly reduce fuel consumption and operating costs compared to other emission control technologies.
Relying on the original OEM to service your RTO can make sense during the warranty period, but what about after that? When you hire PolSys Services as a third-party service provider you enjoy cost efficiency, unbiased recommendations, faster response times, broader technical expertise, and more value-added service. You get the biggest bang for every “service” buck!
When a Fortune 100 engine manufacturing facility in the Southwest brought in PolSys for routine RTO and Zeolite Concentrator training, our field engineer uncovered critical system failures—including a plugged pressure transmitter and degraded components—that had gone unnoticed for months. This case study reveals how expert insight prevented costly downtime and restored regulatory compliance.
A large, industrial wastewater treatment facility with around-the-clock operations needed a solution to improve the on-stream reliability of two Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs). Their systems were often shutting down multiple times a week – causing major operating and environmental compliance issues.
A major chemical manufacturer operating 24/7 faced frequent shutdowns due to a failing legacy control system on their Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO). These disruptions led to costly permit violations and production losses. To address these critical issues, we delivered a fast, customized control system upgrade that significantly improved reliability, compliance, and overall operational efficiency.
This expert article — written by us and featured in Process Heating magazine — highlights five common but often overlooked issues with industrial control systems on air pollution control equipment. Drawing from real-world experience that includes a case study, it explains why these “hidden” problems can lead to costly downtime or compliance risks—and why an upgrade may be the smartest next step.
For maximum system reliability and production uptime, choose a Rapid Response Service Agreement. Plans include inspections, technical support, and emergency call-outs with guaranteed response times. If you’re operating at or near capacity, these site-specific agreements can pay for themselves many times over in increased system reliability, safety & compliance.
