Waste handling facilities operate in challenging conditions where odours, acidic gases and airborne particulates must be controlled effectively. From waste transfer stations and material recovery facilities to RDF processing plants and shredding operations, emission treatment is critical to maintaining compliance and protecting surrounding communities.
scrubX is Exeon’s advanced wet scrubbing system, engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Designed for high-moisture and high-contaminant air streams, scrubX provides effective wet scrubbers for waste applications, ensuring consistent removal of harmful gases before discharge.
Waste operations frequently generate ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, acidic vapours and dust during tipping, sorting, shredding and storage processes. Without robust control systems in place, these emissions can lead to odour complaints, environmental enforcement action and operational disruption.
Wet Scrubbers for Waste Facilities
scrubX functions as one of the most dependable wet scrubbers for waste environments, using controlled liquid absorption to capture and neutralise airborne contaminants. As extracted air passes through the scrubbing chamber, targeted gases are absorbed into a treatment solution, reducing odour and chemical concentrations effectively.
This approach is particularly valuable in enclosed tipping halls, organic waste reception areas and transfer stations where airflow volumes and contaminant levels fluctuate throughout the day.
By installing scrubX, operators can significantly reduce ammonia and sulphurous gas emissions, improving air quality both within the facility and beyond site boundaries.

Chemical Scrubbing for Waste Processing
Certain waste streams contain aggressive or high-strength gases that require targeted treatment. Chemical scrubbing for waste applications provides a dependable method of neutralising acidic and odorous compounds under controlled conditions.
scrubX can be configured with appropriate scrubbing solutions to treat specific contaminants, ensuring efficient removal even during peak operational periods. This makes it suitable for mixed municipal waste facilities, commercial waste processing plants and specialist waste operations.
Where biological treatment is required as part of a multi-stage approach, Exeon also offers bio-flo. For final-stage carbon polishing or high airflow applications, hi-flo can be integrated to deliver a complete emission management system.
Wet Dust Extraction for RDF Plants
RDF facilities generate both gaseous emissions and airborne particulates during shredding, drying and material handling. scrubX supports effective wet dust extraction for RDF plants by combining gas absorption with particulate capture.
The wet scrubbing process reduces fine dust and odorous compounds simultaneously, helping operators maintain cleaner internal environments while reducing external emission impact. This dual-function capability makes scrubX particularly valuable in high-intensity processing operations.
A Robust and Scalable Solution
scrubX is designed for durability, flexibility and long-term performance. Its modular configuration allows integration into both new developments and retrofit upgrades without major disruption to site operations.
Operators benefit from:
- Proven wet scrubbers for waste facilities
- Reliable chemical scrubbing for waste gases
