Odor removal in industry and factories – clean air for production and the environment

Industrial processes are often associated with strong odors. Whether in chemical processes, animal processing, plastics production, or paint shops, the resulting emissions can have a significant impact on employees, neighbors, and the environment.

oxytec's air purification systems reliably neutralize industrial and factory odors. Our solutions are scalable, energy-efficient, and designed for large air volumes.

Common sources of odors in industry and factories

Area
Typical odors
Special features
Chemical industry Solvents, organic compounds High concentrations, often strictly regulated by law
Plastics and rubber industry Plasticizers, resins, additives Continuous emissions during production
Food & animal processing Protein and fat odors, slaughterhouse waste Very intense odors, residents often affected
Metal & surface processing Oils, paints, cooling lubricants Combination of odor and fine dust
Recycling and production residues Decomposition processes, mixed odors Fluctuating loads, difficult to plan

Why odor removal is crucial here

  • Health & occupational safety: Employees should not be exposed to harmful emissions on a permanent basis.
  • Neighborhood compatibility: Odor nuisances are one of the most common causes of complaints and lawsuits.
  • Legal certainty: Industrial plants are subject to strict regulations (TA Luft, BImSchG).
  • Corporate image: Clean air enhances acceptance and reputation.

Technologies for industry and factories

oxytec offers scalable processes that are also suitable for large volume flows:

  • UV ozone/plasma: Decomposes organic compounds directly and reliably.
  • Activated carbon filters: Ideal for residual emissions and specific odorous substances.
  • Scrubber/biofilter: Effective for water-soluble or biodegradable components.
  • Electrostatic precipitator: Removes odor-carrying particles and reduces fine dust.

The processes are combined individually depending on the process and industry.
