Ammonia and VOC Filtration System for Samsara Eco 

Fowlerex has partnered with a company in plastic recycling technology in Australia, to deliver a customised air filtration system for their new facility. This project focuses on managing Ammonia and VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions, ensuring both environmental compliance and operational safety. 

Our Solution 

To meet the stringent air quality requirements at the client’s site, Fowlerex has designed a comprehensive gas scrubbing and filtration system. The system includes: 

• Wet Scrubbing Unit: Designed to handle a mass flow rate of 7,500 kg/hr, tailored to address the specific chemical profile of the emissions and remove corrosive substances before they enter the rest of the system. 

• Carbon Tower (Model C1700-500-4): For effective VOC adsorption and secondary filtration. 

• Industrial Fans (Model FB500-100): Two units, each rated for 7,500 kg/hr to ensure optimal airflow through the system. 

• Exhaust Ductwork and Stack: Built to handle clean, moisture-laden air only, with no corrosive components, ensuring long-term performance and safety. 

The wet and dry scrubbers are designed to remove water-soluble and particulate contaminants such as ammonia from the gas stream, while the carbon tower provides additional filtration to capture residual VOCs. This combination offers an effective solution for treating mixed gas emissions commonly produced in recycling processes.  

Fabrication is currently underway at our sister company, Taurus. The system is designed to support effective gas fume control as part of the facility’s broader environmental management processes.
