RTO

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer. A device used for VOC emissions control in a manufacturing facility. An RTO consists of two or more heat exchangers connected by a common combustion chamber or zone. The heat exchangers consist of beds filled with media that will allow air to pass while serving as a mass to store heat. The VOC laden air stream enters the first heat exchange bed and passes directly through the media where it is preheated en route to the combustion chamber. Here a burner adds any heat necessary to reach optimum combustion temperature and complete the oxidization process. The now clean air stream next enters a second heat exchange bed. It passes directly through the media where the stream is cooled while heating the media before being exhausted to atmosphere. The flow through the heat exchange beds is reversed at regular intervals to conserve the heat of combustion within the RTO. Depending on the application, up to 95% of the heat combustion can be recovered and recycled representing a huge fuel savings. Regenerative Thermal Oxidation of VOC’s and other air pollutants works by a simple reaction of the harmful air pollutants with oxygen and heat. In this environment the VOC’s are converted to CO2, water vapor (H2O) and usable heat.

To comply with EPA regulations, the plant had to install an RTO at the end of their process.

gack in the crack

The substance in between a man's ass cheeks that creates skid marks. Also known as butt butter, gack in the crack is usually formed as a result of several components put together. These are:
1) A hairy ass
2) A moist defecation followed by clean up with cheap TP
3) Physical exertion that causes the hairy ass to perspire

Mike took a hurried dump in the portajohn outside the stadium and then went back to tailgating. It was a long walk back to the pickup and the hot weather made him sweat. By the time he got back to the beer cooler he had some gack in the crack.

Tronic

A descriptive term used by youth to describe electronic music almost like edm or similar styles that are approved by hip hop or rap listeners. Some might describe DJ Snake and Lil Jon's iconic Turn Down for What as Tronic. Tronic is a derived from Electronic primarily, but some as myself see it from the words Tonic, Chronic, or Phonic. Tonic as in the drink which is sometimes associated with alcohol as in the drink Gin & Tonic (which Neil Bulson has a perfect description of those who drink those most being hipsterish people) these are the type of people who listen to this type of music regularly. Note: I have no problems with hipsterish people that's just what I've found. Chronic being good weed or something positive so people are calling the thing good. And finally Phonic or basic meaning not really deep or inspiring just hype music that tends to make good cash but not really be remembered as a classic.

This Tronic shit is in feel me?

I Love this Tronic music it goes.
He Mega Tronic lover.

refill-a-zit

A nasty pimple that seems to form a new white head within a few hours of having squeezed all the puss out of it. A refill-a-zit will often take several days to finally go away.

Well, fuck me! I just popped that bad boy and now it's all white and nasty again. I hate refill-a-zits!
