A substrate processing apparatus has a process chamber and an effluent treatment reactor. The process chamber has a substrate support, a process gas supply, a gas energizer, and an exhaust conduit. The effluent treatment reactor has an effluent inlet to receive effluent from the exhaust conduit of the process chamber, a plasma cell having one or more electrodes electrically connected to a voltage source adapted to electrically bias the electrodes to couple energy to effluent received in the plasma cell, a scrubbing cell coaxially exterior to the plasma cell, the scrubbing cell having a scrubbing fluid inlet to introduce scrubbing fluid into effluent in the scrubbing cell and a scrubbing fluid outlet, and an effluent outlet to release the treated effluent.
