Higgins & Hewins

With over 1000 air and gas purification units installed throughout the UK, Higgins & Hewins have unparalleled experience in this field.

Their Jatreat media from Alphasorb is the essential element for dry scrubbing systems. Their medias are essential to the success of odour control systems in the waste water industry. 

For more challenging odours the patented Odorgard catalytic wet scrubbing process from Johnson Matthey offers very economic solutions, which minimise the footprint. 

For high H₂S concentrations the SulfaTreat process provides an excellent complement to the product range. Whether treating air streams or gas streams, the running cost advantages with SulfaTreat are very attractive. SulfaTreat is now widely used for biogas and natural gas scrubbing. 

Pre-treatment of some process streams is sometimes essential to reduce running costs. Higgins & Hewins also have extensive experience of catalytic iron filters, biofilters and demisting. 

Incineration equipment is also offered. 

The EconAbator catalytic system with its fluidised bed is ideal for treating complex industrial fume streams especially if contaminated with condensable compounds. For solids incineration our batch loaded machines are the ideal low cost solution for general waste and medical waste. 

The MOD are major customers for this equipment.
