In view of the difficulties of using regenerative combustion technology to treat VOCs in small and medium-sized enterprises,such as high construction and operation costs and difficult operation management,this paper analyzed the emission characteristics of VOCs in the pharmaceutical industry and the application of catalytic combustion process,and carried out an application demonstration in a pharmaceutical company with self-developed small catalytic combustion process equipment.The debugging results show that in the temperature range of 250℃~350℃,the removal efficiency of VOCs in typical pharmaceutical industries such as ethyl acetate,acetone,toluene and tetrahydrofuran reaches more than 90%,and the removal efficiency of actual VOCs waste gas reaches 92.5%~97.8%,and the treated waste gas meets the requirements of local emission standards.At the same time,the problems existing in the application of catalytic combustion technology in pharmaceutical industry were analyzed and discussed.
