Top 10 Air Pollution Control System Suppliers in Saudi Arabia in 2025

Founded in 2010 and based in Dammam, Al-Saleem has become a household name in Saudi Arabia’s green tech scene. What started as a small air filter distributor now designs and manufactures full-scale pollution control systems, with a laser focus on the recycling industry—a sector that’s exploded here thanks to new regulations on e-waste and battery disposal.

Core Products That Shine: Their flagship offering is a modular air pollution control system for li battery recycling plants , built to handle the unique emissions of lithium-ion battery processing. With capacities from 500 kg/h to 2,500 kg/h, it’s a workhorse. The system uses a three-step process: a cyclone separator to grab large metal particles, a wet scrubber to neutralize acidic gases like hydrogen fluoride, and a HEPA filter for ultra-fine dust. “We didn’t just copy European designs,” says CEO Ahmed Al-Saleem. “We reengineered them for Saudi’s heat—our scrubbers use 30% less water, and the filters resist clogging from desert dust.”

Local Impact: In 2024, they partnered with a Riyadh-based lithium battery recycler processing 1,500 kg of batteries daily. Before Al-Saleem’s system, the plant struggled with sulfur dioxide emissions exceeding Saudi’s 2023 limits by 40%. Post-installation? Emissions dropped to 0.02 ppm—well below the 0.1 ppm cap. The client reported a bonus: lower energy bills, since the system’s variable-speed fans adjust to real-time emissions instead of running at full blast 24/7.

Why They Stand Out: Smart tech is their secret weapon. Each system comes with a cloud-connected dashboard that tracks emissions, filter life, and maintenance needs. Operators in Jeddah can monitor a plant in Mecca from their phones, and alerts ping if something’s off. “Last month, a client got a text at 2 a.m. that a scrubber pump was failing,” Al-Saleem laughs. “They fixed it before the morning shift—no downtime, no fines.”

EcoCycle Arabia, headquartered in Riyadh, has a tagline that says it all: “From Waste to Clean Air.” Since 2015, they’ve specialized in turnkey环保 solutions, and their bread and butter? Pairing filter press equipment with air pollution control systems to create closed-loop recycling processes. “You can’t clean the air if you’re poisoning the water,” says lead engineer Fatima Al-Zahrani. “We solve both.”

Product Spotlight: Their effluent treatment machine equipment is a game-changer for facilities that use water-based scrubbers (like those in lead acid battery recycling). After the scrubber neutralizes gases, the wastewater—loaded with heavy metals—flows into EcoCycle’s filter press. The press squeezes out 95% of the water, leaving behind a dry cake of sludge that’s safe to landfill or repurpose. The recycled water? It goes straight back into the scrubber, cutting water usage by 80%. “A cable recycling plant in Dammam used to truck out 20,000 liters of wastewater monthly,” Al-Zahrani notes. “Now they truck out 2,000 liters of dry sludge—and reuse the rest.”

Project Win: Last year, they outfitted a Riyadh-based circuit board recycling plant with dry separator (capacity 1,000 kg/h) with a combo system: an APCS for dust and a filter press for wastewater. The result? The plant now meets both air and water standards under Saudi’s Environmental Protection Law, and they’ve even started marketing their “zero-waste” process to international clients.

Edge Over Competitors: Local support. EcoCycle has service centers in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, so parts and technicians are never more than a 4-hour drive away. “A client in Abha had a filter press breakdown last week,” Al-Zahrani says. “We had a tech there with parts by noon—no waiting for imports.”

GreenMech Saudi, a subsidiary of the German GreenMech Group, brings European engineering to the Middle East—with a Saudi twist. Since opening their Riyadh factory in 2018, they’ve focused on heavy-duty systems for high-emission industries like metal melting and cable recycling. “Germans design for precision; we add durability for Saudi’s conditions,” says regional manager Omar Khalid.

Star System: Their air pollution control system equipment for metal melting furnaces is a beast. Built for foundries and recycling plants that melt scrap metal, it handles temperatures up to 1,600°C and captures 99.9% of metal oxide fumes. The secret? A ceramic-lined duct system that resists corrosion from molten metal splatters, and a high-temperature baghouse filter that can withstand 260°C—no melting, even during furnace spikes. “A Jeddah metal foundry was replacing filters every 3 months,” Khalid recalls. “With ours, they’re at 9 months and counting.”

Local Success Story: In 2023, they supplied a medium frequency electricity furnace in Jubail with a custom APCS. The furnace melts 5 tons of scrap aluminum daily, and the system captures 98% of the aluminum oxide dust. “The plant used to have a thick layer of white dust on every surface,” Khalid says. “Now their workers don’t need respirators on the floor, and they’re selling the collected dust back to aluminum refineries as raw material—it’s a revenue stream, not waste.”

What Clients Love: Built to last. GreenMech’s systems come with a 5-year warranty on structural parts, and their Saudi factory stocks 80% of replacement parts locally. “We don’t make clients wait 6 weeks for a fan blade from Germany,” Khalid says. “We grab it from our Riyadh warehouse and ship it same-day.”

CleanAir Industries KSA, based in Jeddah, has a niche: air pollution control systems for small to mid-sized recyclers. While big players focus on 2,000 kg/h plants, CleanAir targets the “mom-and-pop” operations—like scrap cable strippers or small battery recyclers—that make up 60% of Saudi’s recycling sector. “These guys can’t afford million-riyal systems,” says founder Layla Hassan. “We build solutions that work on a budget, but don’t skimp on compliance.”

Budget-Friendly But Mighty: Their bestseller is a compact APCS for scrap cable stripper equipment , designed for shops processing 200–500 kg of cables daily. It uses a portable fume extractor with a activated carbon filter to trap PVC and rubber fumes—no need for a fixed duct system. “A shop in Medina was using box fans to blow fumes out the window,” Hassan says. “Now they have our extractor, and their workers no longer complain about headaches. Plus, it costs less than a used car—around 15,000 riyals.”

Community Impact: They’ve partnered with Saudi’s Ministry of Environment to offer subsidized systems to small recyclers. So far, they’ve installed 120 units across the country, from Tabuk to Najran. “A cable stripper in Hail told me, ‘I used to lose workers every month because of the fumes,’” Hassan recalls. “Now his team has stayed a year—productivity’s up 20%.”

Why Small Recyclers Choose Them: Simplicity. Their systems are plug-and-play—no need for a team of engineers to install. “We send a technician to set it up in 2 hours, then train the staff in 30 minutes,” Hassan explains. “The controls are like a microwave: press ‘start,’ and it runs. No confusing dials.”

Arabian EcoTech, founded in 2015 and based in Riyadh, is all about “total solutions.” They don’t just sell air pollution control equipment —they design entire环保 ecosystems, pairing APCS with water process equipment and waste management tools. “Why piecemeal when you can have a one-stop shop?” asks sales director Majed Al-Tamimi. “A circuit board recycling plant needs air filters, water treatment, and solid waste handling—we do it all.”

Full-Package Deals: Their flagship project is a turnkey circuit board recycling plant with dry separator (500–2,000 kg/h capacity), which includes an APCS, a water treatment unit, and a dust collection system. The APCS handles soldering fumes and fiberglass dust, while the water system recycles 90% of the process water. “A client in Khobar wanted to build a circuit board plant from scratch,” Al-Tamimi says. “We delivered the entire setup in 3 months—they were recycling boards by month 4, fully compliant with all Saudi regulations.”

Big Project, Big Results: In 2024, they built a complete lead acid battery breaking and separation system for a Jeddah plant, including an APCS to capture lead dust and sulfur emissions. The plant now processes 2,000 kg of lead batteries daily, and their air emissions are so low, they’ve been featured in Saudi’s “Green Industrialists” showcase.

The EcoTech Edge: They own their own manufacturing facility in Riyadh, so they control quality from start to finish. “We don’t import parts—we make them,” Al-Tamimi says. “Last year, when global supply chains messed up filter shipments, we just cranked up production here. Our clients didn’t even notice the shortage.”

Based in Riyadh, Desert Clean Systems has a mission: make pollution control tough enough for Saudi’s deserts. “We test our systems in 50°C heat, 90% humidity, and sandstorms,” says founder Nasser Al-Mansoori. “If it works here, it works anywhere.” Their specialty? air pollution control systems for remote industrial sites—like mining operations or oil refineries in the Empty Quarter.

Desert-Ready Designs: Their air pollution control system equipment for mining uses dust collectors with oversized air intakes to handle sand, and filters coated in a Teflon-like material that repels dust (no clogging). “A lithium ore extraction plant in Tabuk was replacing filters weekly because of sand,” Al-Mansoori says. “We installed our system, and now they last 6 months. The plant manager called it ‘a miracle.’”

Extreme Conditions, Extreme Results: In 2023, they supplied a tailing ore extraction plant in the Rub’ al Khali desert (one of the hottest places on Earth, with summer temps hitting 55°C). Their APCS had to run 24/7, with no shade and limited water. The solution? A solar-powered system with a heat-resistant scrubber that uses recycled brine instead of fresh water. “It’s been running 18 months with zero breakdowns,” Al-Mansoori grins. “And the solar panels cut their grid electricity use by 40%.”

Why Remote Sites Trust Them: Durability, plain and simple. Their systems use stainless steel frames, sealed electronics, and sand-proof fans. “We once had a sandstorm hit a client’s site with 80 km/h winds,” Al-Mansoori recalls. “The system kept running—we later found a 2-inch layer of sand on the roof, but the filters inside were spotless.”

SES, a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and a European环保 firm, is all about heavy industry—think oil refineries, large-scale manufacturing, and motor recycling machines . With deep pockets and global expertise, they tackle the biggest pollution challenges, like emissions from motor stator cutter equipment and shredder and pre-chopper equipment in automotive recycling plants.

Industrial-Grade Solutions: Their crown jewel is a high-capacity APCS for 4 shaft shredder equipment —the monsters that tear through car bodies and appliances. These shredders kick up clouds of dust, plastic particles, and heavy metals, so SES’s system uses a massive baghouse with 500+ filters and a pulse-jet cleaning system to keep airflow steady. “A Jeddah auto recycler was using 10 baghouses to handle their 4-shaft shredder,” says SES engineer Faisal Al-Mansoori. “We replaced them with one of our systems—it’s 30% smaller, uses 25% less energy, and captures 99.9% of dust.”

Aramco Backing, Global Know-How: Their partnership with Aramco gives them access to R&D labs and testing facilities, so they’re always ahead on tech. For example, they recently developed a motor recycling machines equipment APCS that captures copper dust and recycles it back to the foundry. “A Riyadh motor recycler was losing 5% of their copper to dust—worth 100,000 riyals/year,” Al-Mansoori says. “Now they collect that dust and sell it—turning waste into profit.”

Why Big Industry Chooses Them: Peace of mind. With Aramco’s name behind them, clients know SES won’t cut corners. “A refinery in Jubail told us, ‘We don’t care if it costs more—we need something that never fails,’” Al-Mansoori says. “We delivered, and now they’re expanding to 3 more plants.”

EcoSmart, based in Madinah, is the new kid on the block (founded 2018) but has made waves with dry process equipment for pollution control. Unlike wet scrubbers that use water, their systems rely on dry filters and electrostatic precipitators—perfect for Saudi’s water-scarce regions. “Why waste water in a desert?” asks founder Lina Al-Hajj. “Our dry systems are just as effective, and they save 100,000+ liters/year per plant.”

Dry Tech for Dry Climates: Their star product is a dry APCS for circuit board recycling plant with dry separator (500–2,000 kg/h). It uses an electrostatic precipitator to charge dust particles, then collects them on metal plates—no water needed. “A circuit board plant in Taif was spending 5,000 riyals/month on water for their wet scrubber,” Al-Hajj says. “Now they use our dry system, and that bill’s gone. Plus, the collected dust is dry, so they sell it to metal refiners—another revenue stream.”

Water-Saving Wins: In 2024, they partnered with the Madinah Water Authority to promote dry systems in the region. So far, 80% of new circuit board plants in Madinah have gone dry, saving an estimated 1.2 million liters of water annually. “The governor visited one plant and said, ‘This is how we build a sustainable Madinah,’” Al-Hajj自豪地说。

Why Dry is Better Here: Maintenance is a breeze. Wet scrubbers in Saudi often develop mineral deposits from hard water, leading to clogs. Dry systems? No scaling, no corrosion from chemicals, and filters that last 6–8 months instead of 3. “A client in Yanbu told us, ‘I used to have a technician fixing the scrubber twice a week,’” Al-Hajj says. “Now he checks the dry system once a month—done.”

GES KSA, a branch of the U.S.-based GES Inc., brings American innovation to Saudi’s pollution control scene. Their claim to fame? Mobile APCS units—truck-mounted systems that can be deployed to temporary sites, like construction demolition or disaster cleanups. “Not every project needs a permanent system,” says regional director John Smith. “A construction company clearing a site for 6 months? A mobile unit makes sense.”

On-the-Go Solutions: Their most popular mobile system is a trailer-mounted unit for scrap cable recycling equipment at temporary job sites. It’s compact (fits in a standard parking spot), runs on a generator, and can handle 300 kg/h of cable stripping. “Last year, a telecom company was upgrading 500 km of old cables in rural Saudi,” Smith explains. “They needed to strip cables on-site to avoid transporting scrap. Our mobile unit followed their crew—no fumes, no complaints from villagers.”

Disaster Response Hero: When floods hit Jeddah in 2024, GES’s mobile systems were deployed to clean up mold and debris from damaged warehouses emitting toxic fumes. “We set up 3 units in 48 hours, filtering 20,000 m³ of air daily,” Smith says. “The Ministry of Health called it ‘critical to preventing a public health crisis.’”

Why Mobility Matters: Flexibility. Clients pay per day or per project, avoiding big upfront costs. “A small recycler might need a system for a 3-month contract,” Smith notes. “Buying a permanent unit would bankrupt them. Renting ours? They make a profit, then return it.”

Rounding out our list is NRT, a Saudi-owned startup with a bold vision: making air pollution control system equipment accessible to every recycler, big or small. Founded in 2019 by three engineering graduates, they’ve bootstrapped their way to success by focusing on affordability and local manufacturing—90% of their parts are made in Saudi, slashing import costs.

Local Pride, Local Parts: Their signature product is a low-cost APCS for bulb eater equipment and lamp recycling machines —a niche but vital sector, since Saudi generates 5 million+ used lamps yearly, many containing mercury. NRT’s system uses a vacuum-sealed shredder and activated carbon filter to trap mercury vapor, all for under 20,000 riyals. “Lamp recyclers are small operations—most are family-run,” says co-founder Zainab Al-Mansoori. “We priced our system so even a shop in Najran can afford it.”

Grassroots Growth: They’ve partnered with vocational schools to train technicians, creating a network of local repair experts. “We don’t just sell a system—we train the client’s staff to fix it,” Al-Mansoori says. “A lamp recycler in Dammam had a filter clog last month; their own tech fixed it in an hour, no call to Riyadh.”

The Startup Spirit: Agility is their strength. When new regulations on CRT recycling machines equipment came out in 2024, NRT designed a compatible APCS in 3 months—while bigger firms took a year. “We’re small, so we can pivot fast,” Al-Mansoori grins. “Watch us—by 20
