OEC odor filter
FCC Austria Abfall Service AG
FCC Austria Abfall Service AG offers comprehensive waste management solutions across Austria for municipalities, industry, trade and retail as well as private customers. Alongside individual customer needs, economy and ecology come first. Modern plants and equipment ensure professional disposal and further processing and treatment of the waste. With more than 4,000 employees and 20 sites throughout Austria, FCC is one of the leading waste management companies in Austria.
However, the company was struggling with one problem: unpleasant odors led to an increasing number of complaints from local residents. In 2019, FCC decided to solve this problem with our OEC odor filter, and with success. Despite a relatively high dust content, the OEC concept works with a flow rate of 50,000 m³/h without an additional dust filter and is therefore also very efficient from an economic point of view.

Interview with Johann Handler, plant manager at FCC Austria Abfall Service AG
Why did you need an odor filter?
Within a radius of around 350 metres around our refuse-derived fuel shredder hall, unpleasant odors led to an increasing number of complaints from private households nearby.
Why did you choose Scheuch COMPONENTS?
With the OEC reference product, Scheuch COMPONENTS quickly convinced us both technically and functionally. The odor filter is not only practical to use, the investment and operating costs also speak for this well-engineered product.
Before the OEC odor filter, had you tried other approaches to reduce odor emissions?
Yes, we had, but unfortunately with little success. Before the OEC odor filter, we relied on stand-alone solutions with biofilters and activated carbon tanks. Today we know that Scheuch COMPONENTS has the perfect solution.
What do you particularly like about the OEC solution?
I particularly like the fact that the filter material comes from the region. It is also cost-effective and of high quality.
What improvements have you achieved by using the OEC odor filter?
The number of complaints per year fell from 80 to 8. We are more than satisfied with that. There was also a positive side effect: the temperature in the hall dropped by 3 °C.
Are you planning further projects with Scheuch COMPONENTS?
As the cooperation on the first project went very well and was very pleasant, especially on a personal level, we would also like to implement an exhaust air treatment with Scheuch COMPONENTS at our site in 2325 Himberg.
Both the product and the service of this company are at their best. I cannot think of anything that could be improved here and can only recommend Scheuch COMPONENTS as a partner.
