Wet Scrubber System Upgrade for Mineral Processing Industry

Location: Adelaide , Australia

Time:  May 2025 – present 

Job number #FTPL11467

Supporting a pilot initiative, Fowlerex Technologies joined forces with our sister company Taurus Engineering to supply a customised scrubber solution tailored to the project's unique requirements. Operating within the mineral processing industry, this system was designed to improve the efficiency, streamline operational processes and to enable on-site installation organised by the client, requiring a comprehensive degree of accuracy and detail in both design and fabrication. 

The complete system included the wet scrubber system and supporting pipework (recirculation and supply). Commonly used across a wide range of industries, scrubbers help businesses meet environmental compliance standards, improve air quality, and protect both people and equipment from corrosive or hazardous substances. The intent is to scrub the exhaust air coming from their pilot plant prior to releasing it to the environment. This is important for meeting environmental compliance requirements in Australia.  

This tailored system has been developed to prove it’s efficiency for their pilot plant, the design was carefully engineered to align with the client’s operational parameters and installation needs. We are looking forward to tailoring a similar system to meet their requirements for a bigger plant in the future.  

Outcome 

The collaborative approach between Fowlerex and Taurus ensured the delivery of a robust, custom-fit scrubber system, ready for client installation. The vertical integration of our business supports future collaboration on such projects. By prioritising accuracy, adaptability, and environmental alignment, the project supports the client's ongoing water and chemical treatment processes with improved efficiency and compliance. 

The system has now been packed and shipped to the client for installation by the client or a third party contractor.
