Australian Design, Manufacture & Integration
Overview
Xenon Engineering is a leading Australian provider of Air Pollution Control Systems (APCS) for combustion-based and thermal processing plants. With over 20 years of specialist experience, we design, manufacture, integrate, and upgrade emission control systems that enable industrial facilities to meet stringent environmental regulations across Australia, Europe, and other international jurisdictions.
Our APCS solutions combine practical engineering, process optimisation, and regulatory compliance, allowing plants to operate reliably while significantly reducing environmental impact.
Compliance Upgrades & System Diagnostics
Environmental emission limits continue to tighten. Xenon Engineering specialises in identifying inefficiencies in existing APCS installations and delivering cost-effective retrofit and upgrade solutions.
Our diagnostic-led approach ensures your plant can meet reduced emission limits without compromising throughput, reliability, or operability.
Services include:
- Full APCS system audits and emissions diagnostics
- Combustion, thermal, and chemical process optimisation
- Retrofit and upgrade of legacy APCS equipment
- Integration with PLC and SCADA systems for monitoring and control
