This can be accomplished via heat from incineration or via microorganisms in biodegradation.
Incineration is a rapid, exothermic oxidation process that destroys organic material in the off-gas.
Biodegradation occurs in a controlled water environment which allows bacteria to actively break down the organic compounds. The types of organisms required depend on the VOC compounds being controlled. The VOC airstream from air drying and curing will not produce the level of VOC concentrations required for incineration. Adopting higher transfer efficiencies or lower solvent paints would be the most viable options. See solvent recovery .
