An apparatus for converting harmful hydrocarbon emissions into harmless gases includes, in sequence, a transition chamber, transition duct work, a burner chamber, a catalyst chamber, and a cap. The hydrocarbons are burned and then treated with a catalyst to substantially reduce or completely eliminate the visible hydrocarbon emissions, the odor and the total amount of hydrocarbon emission by more than ninety (90%) percent.

A pollution control device for converting harmful hydrocarbon emissions to harmless gases, wherein said device includes a transition chamber, transition duct work, a burner chamber, a catalyst chamber, and a cap operably connected to burn and then treat hydrocarbon emissions with a catalyst to reduce a visible amount of said hydrocarbon emissions to an acceptable level and reduce a total amount of said hydrocarbon emissions by more than ninety (90%) percent, wherein: a. said transition duct work is connected to an exhaust of a hydrocarbon emitting process; b. said transition duct work is connected to said burner chamber, said burner chamber being oppositely disposed from said exhaust and said transition ductwork feeding said hydrocarbon emissions into said burner chamber; said burner chamber being fueled by natural gas, and serving to destroy some of said hydrocarbon vapors by conversion into water and carbon dioxide; c. said burner chamber is operably connected to said catalyst chamber; said catalyst chamber being oppositely disposed from said transition ductwork, and said burner chamber serving to preheat a remainder of said hydrocarbons and allow said remainder to flow upwardly in said burner chamber to said catalyst chamber to convert said remainder into said harmless gases; d. a burner assembly is secured within said burner chamber; e. a baffle assembly is secured within said burner chamber between said burner assembly and said catalyst chamber to provide a turbulent mixture of air and said hydrocarbon emissions to provide for more efficient burning of a portion of said hydrocarbon emissions; and f. and said cap is secured to said catalyst chamber and oppositely disposed from said burner chamber to form a top of said device.
