Destruction & removal efficiency
99.8 %
Inlet mass flow
100 kg/hr
Outlet mass flow
0.2 kg/hr
Mass destroyed
99.8 kg/hr
Formula and working
DRE (%) = (mIn − mOut) ÷ mIn × 100
- 1
Collect the inputs
Inlet VOC mass flow = 100 kg/hr; Outlet VOC mass flow = 0.2 kg/hr
- 2
Apply the formula
DRE (%) = (mIn − mOut) ÷ mIn × 100
- 3
Result
Destruction & removal efficiency = 99.8 %
