Thermal oxidizers are used to reduce air pollution emissions from a variety of industrial processes by treating the polluted exhaust gas prior to releasing it in the air. A thermal oxidizer uses the principle of "thermal oxidation" to destroy the contaminants in a polluted exhaust gas,.

Thermal oxidation is a combustion process in which the contaminants within the polluted exhaust gas react with oxygen in a temperature controlled environment to create an oxidation reaction. This chemical reaction is what reduces the pollutants in the exhaust gas to an innocuous emission (CO2, water vapor, and heat) to atmosphere.

There are four types of thermal oxidizer :

- Direct fired thermal oxidizer (some times known as an afterburner)
- Recuperative thermal oxidizer
- Regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO)
- Flameless thermal oxidizer (FTO).

"A thermal oxidizer (or thermal oxidiser) is a process unit for air pollution control in many chemical plants that decomposes hazardous gases at a high temperature and releases them into the atmosphere."
