Abstract

This article aimed (1) to compare and analyze air pollution treatment technologies suitable for resolving pollution issues in an iron wire factory; and (2) to derive valuable insights from the practical implementation of the chosen air pollution treatment system. Employing a qualitative research approach, data collection utilized technology-related article analyses and participatory action research, where the researcher actively engaged in mitigating pollution issues within the production processes of the case study company. Data analysis employs narrative descriptions to reflect the researcher's experiential insights gained from the research process. The findings underscore wet pollution treatment technology as the optimal choice, given its capacity to generate water mist in the treatment tank, effectively absorb viscous oil mist, and mitigate explosion risks. Furthermore, its vertical configuration requires minimal installation space. Subsequent system implementation demonstrated a substantial reduction in pollution levels. Whereas the system's simplicity, requiring minimal equipment and ease of maintenance without the need for specialized personnel, translates to low operational costs.
