In industrial waste gas treatment equipment, fillers play a crucial role in ensuring efficient VOC treatment and stable operation of downstream air pollution control equipment such as RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers), CO (Catalytic Oxidizers), RCO (Regenerative Catalytic Oxidizers), and thermal incinerators (TO/Thermal Oxidizers). The right filler material enhances environmental protection equipment by improving contact area, promoting gas–liquid reactions, and reducing pollutant concentrations before final combustion or oxidation.

Common Fillers in Waste Gas Treatment
1. Activated Carbon
- Function: Strong adsorption capacity for VOCs, benzene, toluene, and other organic compounds.
- Application: Often used as a pretreatment stage before catalytic oxidizers (CO/RCO) to reduce pollutant load.
- Benefit: Enhances overall control of gaseous emissions by capturing toxic compounds.
2. Ceramic and Plastic Fillers (Pall Rings, Raschig Rings, Saddles)
- Function: Increase surface area for gas–liquid contact.
- Application: Widely used in absorption towers and scrubbers connected to RTO or TO systems.
- Benefit: Improve absorption of acid gases (HCl, SO₂, NH₃) before gases reach high-temperature oxidizers.
3. Zeolite Rotor Media
- Function: Concentrates low-concentration VOCs into smaller, high-concentration streams.
- Application: Commonly combined with RTO or RCO systems.
- Benefit: Greatly reduces energy consumption in downstream waste gas treatment equipment by improving VOC destruction efficiency.

4. Biological Fillers (Packing for Biofilters)
- Function: Support microbial growth to biologically degrade VOCs and odor compounds.
- Application: Used in pollution control equipment for low-concentration organic waste gases.
- Benefit: Provides sustainable and eco-friendly environmental protection equipment options.
Integration with Advanced Equipment
- RTO & Thermal Oxidizer (TO): Fillers like ceramic packing pre-clean and cool gases before high-temperature oxidation.
- Catalytic Oxidizer (CO): Activated carbon and zeolite rotor reduce pollutant loads, improving catalyst efficiency.
- RCO: Zeolite fillers concentrate VOCs, optimizing hybrid regenerative + catalytic systems.
