Filtration system for Ammonia and VOC’s in Plastic Recycling Location: NSW, Australia Time: Jan 2025 – present Taurus Engineering was engaged by its sister company Fowlerex to fabricate and supply key components for bespoke air filtration system at a plastic recycling facility in Australia. The system is designed to control and treat emissions of ammonia and volatile organic compounds, supporting the client’s commitment to environmental compliance and operational safety. Our Solution To meet the stringent air quality requirements at the client’s site, Taurus has fabricated 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. This project required tight measurements and high-spec welding to ensure airtight connections and efficient gas flow. Taurus used advanced fabrication techniques to deliver components that fit precisely within the overall system framework. Components were fabricated using corrosion resistant material and coatings to withstand the chemicals in the emissions. Fabrication is currently underway with all components being built to exact project specifications. Once completed, this will form the foundation of highly specialised air filtration system, enabling the client to meet their strict environmental requirements.
