South Africa Wet Scrubber Manufacturer for air pollution control, Flue Gas Cleaning, Acid Fumes Cleaning

South Africa’s diverse industrial sectors—ranging from mining and metallurgy to chemicals, paper, plastics, and energy—generate significant volumes of hazardous exhaust gases and fine particulate matter. With increasing pressure from the South African Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) and the Air Quality Act regulations, industries must install reliable air pollution control systems. SAZ ENVIRO is a trusted Wet Scrubber manufacturer South Africa, delivering advanced wet gas scrubbing solutions engineered for corrosive and high-temperature applications.

Our position as a leading Wet Scrubber manufacturing company South Africa is built on delivering turnkey solutions tailored to local operating conditions in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, and Northern Cape industrial zones.

0.1 What is a Wet Scrubber?

1 Technical Specifications Wet Scrubber for South Africa

A wet scrubber is an air pollution control device used to remove particulates and harmful gases from industrial exhaust streams. It operates by forcing the contaminated gas stream into contact with a scrubbing liquid—usually water or an alkaline solution—which absorbs or reacts with the pollutants. The pollutants are then trapped in the liquid and either neutralized or collected for treatment.

As an established Wet Scrubber manufacturer South Africa, SAZ ENVIRO offers both packed bed and venturi-type wet scrubbers capable of achieving high efficiency in the removal of SOx, NOx, HCl, ammonia, fluoride, and suspended dust.

As a highly experienced Wet Scrubber manufacturing company South Africa, we build systems that are chemically resistant, space-efficient, and easy to maintain.

How SAZ ENVIRO Wet Scrubbers Work

Gas Inlet: Polluted air is introduced into the scrubber tower.
Contact Zone: Pollutants come into contact with the scrubbing liquid, usually sprayed over packing media or injected at high velocity.
Chemical Absorption / Reaction: Gaseous pollutants dissolve or neutralize in the scrubbing solution.
Droplet Removal: Mist eliminators separate entrained liquid from the clean gas stream.
Discharge: Treated air is vented to the atmosphere, while the scrubbing liquid is recirculated or treated.

This process, offered by our expert Wet Scrubber manufacturing company South Africa, is proven to reduce air emissions and workplace exposure.

Chemical Reaction Examples

Gas Pollutant	Scrubbing Solution	Byproduct Formed
SO₂, SO₃	NaOH, Lime Milk	Sodium Sulfate / Gypsum Slurry
Ammonia	H₂SO₄	Ammonium Sulfate Solution
HCl, Cl₂	NaOH / Water	Sodium Chloride + Water
Fluorine Compounds	Ca(OH)₂	Calcium Fluoride
VOCs	NaOCl / KMnO₄ / Activated Carbon	Oxidized Organics / CO₂

We offer all of the above scrubbing reactions as configurable options through SAZ ENVIRO—the leading Wet Scrubber manufacturer South Africa.

Application of Wet Scrubber in South African Industries

SAZ ENVIRO’s wet scrubbers are installed in:

Mining and Smelting Units (Limpopo, North West) – For SO₂ and fluoride removal
Fertilizer and Pesticide Plants (KwaZulu-Natal) – Ammonia and HCl control
Petrochemical Refineries (Mpumalanga) – VOCs and sulphur compound absorption
Textile and Dye Units – Odor and acid vapor control
Waste Incinerators and E-waste Recyclers (Western Cape) – Heavy metal and acid gas capture
Food & Beverage Processing – Steam and odor suppression

As a top Wet Scrubber manufacturing company South Africa, we tailor each system based on local emission limits, gas flow, and process chemistry.
