Control of gas emissions from incinerator combustion needs to be done to prevent air pollution. One of the tools to reduce gas emissions is by using a venturi vacuum in a wet scrubber three-stage filter system. This research was conducted to determine whether there is an influence of the filter media size and filter media height. The filter media that used are PVC pipes with filter media sizes varying 2 cm, 4 cm and 6 cm. The height of the filter media varies 5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm. The parameters studied were NO, CO, and SO2 gas emissions. Result data from the study was carried out statistical tests using One-way Anova to determine the relationship of the influence of variables and parameters on the efficiency of the wet scrubber three-stage filter reactor. The results of the study using a venturi vacuum reactor obtained the highest efficiency values of 66,67% (NO), 29,69% (CO), and 66,87% (SO2). This is contrary to SO2 which has the highest solubility value in water compared to the solubility values of NO and CO.
