VOC and Mercury Gas Treatment System
for Contaminated Soil Remediation Processes

A.B.P. Chemical Engineering and Ventilation Ltd. executed a turn-key project for the treatment of gases emitted from contaminated soil remediation processes containing volatile organic compounds (VOC) and mercury vapors.
The company designed, manufactured, and installed a complete air extraction and purification system meeting the strict emission standards of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
The system, designed for a flow rate of 15,000 m³/h, ensures a safe working environment and protects surrounding air quality.

Existing Conditions

During soil remediation works, strong VOC and mercury vapors were emitted from unloading and soil treatment areas.
To ensure safe working conditions and regulatory compliance, a dedicated gas and odor treatment system was required alongside the remediation facility.

Challenge

  • Simultaneous treatment of VOC and mercury vapors – complex compounds with different properties.
  • Maintaining ultra-low emission levels in full compliance with environmental regulations.
  • Designing a high-capacity system (15,000 m³/h) with optimal energy efficiency.
  • Ensuring safe and comfortable working conditions for on-site personnel.

Precise engineering and full execution of a dedicated system for the treatment of toxic and volatile gases, combining expertise, innovation, and experience to ensure a clean and safe environment for workers and the surrounding area.

Solution

The system was designed by the company’s process and mechanical engineering departments and included:

  • A dedicated extraction network and hoods for the work areas
  • An advanced self-cleaning cartridge dust filtration system
  • A specialized activated carbon container for combined treatment of mercury vapors and VOCs

All system components were engineered, manufactured, and installed by A.B.P. Chemical Engineering and Ventilation Ltd., including on-site commissioning and optimization.

 

 

Project Scope and Deliverables

  • Detailed process and mechanical engineering design according to site and regulatory requirements.
  • Fabrication of galvanized and oven-coated steel ducts, hoods, and extraction lines.
  • Self-cleaning cartridge filter for dust and particulate removal.
  • Activated carbon container equipped with GM60 and GO60 carbon grades for dual VOC and mercury removal.
  • Full installation, wiring, and on-site performance testing.

Sustainability Outcomes

  • Significant reduction in air pollutant emissions and full regulatory compliance.
  • Improved air quality and safer working conditions for plant personnel.
