RTO SYSTEM

Nutro Products’s success in eliminating the odor issues at the plant have occurred due to more than $11 million in investments at the Victorville plant. One of the key components has been the new Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) units.

RTO systems use very high temperatures to reduce odor in a plant’s air streams. This is proven technology that has been used successfully to abate odors from manufacturing and processing plants for over 40 years.

Nutro Products representatives toured other pet food facilities in the United States and overseas that use RTO systems to personally observe and assess how well they work in mitigating odor.

The Air District has said that the RTO system is "the best available odor control technology."
