(OP)
Does anyone have experience with the use of glycols, glycol ethers or other organic solvents in packed scrubbers to remove VOCs like toluene, butanol and methylene chloride from waste vapour streams?

Burning the recovered VOC's in fuel oil may be a cheap means of disposal. However, scrubbing with fuel oil has its own dangers, the most obvious being its flammability. Fuel oils generally have a significant vapor pressure, and therefore will add new VOC's to the gas being treated.

In the south of the US, we use peanut and cotton seed oil for everything. These oils should have BTUs & ignitability should be low. There's nothin smells better than fresh hot roasted peanuts so your environmental compliance man will turn his head when it comes to this regulated processing.
If the VOC's are burned, what's the problem?
