Incineration with Flue Gas Cleaning
Why Flue Gas Treatment Matters
Efficient flue gas treatment in waste-to-energy plants is crucial for meeting modern environmental standards and ensuring safe operation. At Atlas Incinerators, we provide advanced flue gas cleaning systems integrated with our incinerators to eliminate harmful substances and comply with IMO MARPOL Annex VI. Our technology effectively handles flue gasses produced during incineration, minimising pollutants and ensuring a cleaner environment.
The land-based clientele for Atlas incinerators includes the mining industry, oil and gas companies, and power plants.
Is flue gas harmful? Yes, untreated flue gas contains particulates, heavy metals, sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and other hazardous compounds that pose risks to human health and the environment.

Our Flue Gas Cleaning Technology
Atlas’ flue gas cleaning systems are engineered to meet the most stringent emission requirements. By employing multi-stage treatment, we capture and neutralise acidic components, solid particles, and volatile organic compounds. Our systems are designed for flue gas incinerator applications where efficient and reliable flue gas treatment is essential.
Our technology ensures:
- Compliance with IMO MARPOL Annex VI and other international standards
- Reduced NOx, SOx, and particulate emissions
- Effective neutralisation of acidic flue gases
- Lower environmental footprint through optimised flue gas management

Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find the most frequently asked questions and answers about flue gas.
What is flue gas?
Flue gas is the exhaust gas produced by burning fuels in incinerators, power plants, or engines. It typically contains CO₂, water vapour, SOx, NOx, particulates, and other pollutants.
Is flue gas harmful?
Yes. Without proper treatment, flue gas can harm human health and the environment due to toxic substances and acidic components.
How does flue gas cleaning work?
Flue gas cleaning involves removing or neutralising pollutants using technologies such as scrubbers, filters, and catalysts to ensure emissions meet regulatory limits.
Why is flue gas treatment important in waste-to-energy plants?
Effective flue gas treatment in waste to energy plants is critical to control harmful emissions, protect public health, and comply with environmental laws.
