About VSS-Umwelttechnik
VSS-Umwelttechnik GmbH, based in Troisdorf (NRW), was founded in 1997 and is a manufacturer of exhaust gas purification systems; as an internationally active engineering firm it specializes in the purification of exhaust air and process gases. The product portfolio includes gas scrubbers (nozzle, packed-column and Venturi scrubbers) for exhaust air flows from 1 liter/min to over 200,000 m³/h, compact scrubbers for Ex areas according to ATEX, point-of-use process gas scrubbers for semiconductor manufacturing, activated carbon filter systems, biofilters and biological scrubbers for odor removal, as well as thermal and catalytic post-combustion systems. The services range from problem analysis and on-site consulting, dimensioning and design to manufacturing coordination, quality control and acceptance testing (FAT) through to assembly, commissioning, maintenance and spare parts procurement. Customers come from the chemical, foundry, pharmaceutical, food, semiconductor, solar, glass and electroplating industries; references include BASF, Daimler, Merck and VW. Since July 2025 the company has been part of Hürner Luft- und Umwelttechnik GmbH (HLU).

Processes and Materials
Plastic plant engineering
Systems and components such as silencers are made of plastic, among other reasons because of its resistance to aggressive gases.
Water as scrubbing liquid
In the gas scrubbers, e.g. for semiconductor manufacturing, water is used as the scrubbing liquid to absorb pollutant gases.
