“Centriair is a process air purification company with proprietary technology and products that provide energy savings and replace environmentally harmful technology,” says Per Kaijser, electrical engineer and co-founder of Scandinavian Centriair.
The company’s air purification system is used in the food industry, biogas production, waste management and sewage treatment. Since the market is international, sister companies have been started in Norway and Germany with Centriair Holding as Group parent.
This week, Exportcenter Väst published an article highlighting Centriair’s early development and export journey. The article explains that although Centriair is based in Scandinavia, the company’s true growth lies in the international market. Great Britain and Germany were the first steps into Europe, and today Spain, Portugal, and North America are flourishing markets.

The challenge was as clear as the southern skies — to keep odours under control in a plant running close to the local community outdoors and under the region’s scorching summer heat. The suggested biofilter would require constant maintenance and because of that would fail to meet the strict odour emission limits of 300 OU/m3 at the outlet, leading to constant unrest among nearby residents.
Odour is a significant challenge in sectors such as waste management, food processing, biogas production, slaughterhouses, rendering plants, and wastewater treatment. These industries generate strong and persistent odours. If not properly managed, these odours can affect employees, nearby communities, and the overall perception of the industry,
