Kenya Wet Scrubber Manufacturer, Wet Scrubber for Acid Fumes, Ammonia, Flue Gases

With growing industrialization in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Eldoret, air pollution control has become a pressing concern for manufacturers in Kenya. Emissions from chemical processing, cement grinding, pharmaceutical production, and waste incineration facilities are contributing to deteriorating air quality. To meet both NEMA regulations and international environmental standards, industries are now seeking reliable air pollution control equipment. SAZ ENVIRO is a globally recognized Wet Scrubber manufacturer in Kenya, offering robust, customized wet scrubbing systems engineered to control gaseous emissions and fine particulate matter.

As a specialized Wet Scrubber manufacturing company in Kenya, we deliver highly efficient packed bed and venturi wet scrubbers suitable for controlling pollutants such as SOx, NOx, HCl, ammonia, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and acidic gases.

3 How Wet Scrubbers Work

A wet scrubber is a gas-cleaning device used in industrial exhaust systems to remove contaminants from polluted air streams using a liquid—typically water or a chemical solution. The process involves contact between polluted gas and the scrubbing liquid, which absorbs or reacts with the contaminants, trapping them before clean air is released into the atmosphere.

SAZ ENVIRO, a trusted Wet Scrubber manufacturer in Kenya, provides turnkey wet scrubber systems customized to Kenyan industries. These systems are essential for meeting the Kenya National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) emission control limits.

Every scrubber designed by our Wet Scrubber manufacturing company in Kenya is engineered with precise calculations based on pollutant concentration, gas flow rate, and emission targets.

How Wet Scrubbers Work

Polluted gas enters the scrubber via ducting.
Gas flows through a packed bed or venturi throat, where it contacts recirculated scrubbing liquid.
Absorption or neutralization occurs — chemical pollutants are dissolved or chemically reacted.
Water droplets carry away the pollutants and are separated by mist eliminators.
Clean air is released, and used scrubbing liquid is either treated or recirculated.

This process is highly effective in removing both soluble gases and submicron particulate matter, which is why SAZ ENVIRO is the leading Wet Scrubber manufacturer in Kenya for pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and agro-industries.

Application of Wet Scrubber in Kenya Industries

Our systems are used across diverse sectors in Kenya, including:

Pharmaceutical & Chemical Plants – Removal of acid gases like HCl, SO₂, NOx
Food Processing Units – Odor control and vapor scrubbing
Cement & Minerals Industry – Dust and silica particle control
Steel and Galvanizing Plants – Removal of zinc oxide fumes
Municipal Incinerators – Capture of dioxins, furans, and VOCs
Battery & Fertilizer Manufacturing – Control of fluorine, ammonia, and sulfur emissions

As the go-to Wet Scrubber manufacturing company in Kenya, SAZ ENVIRO ensures each scrubber is designed as per site-specific emissions, process characteristics, and discharge norms.
