Abstract
A substrate processing apparatus includes a processing unit supplying at least one of a plurality of types of chemical liquids to a substrate and a scrubber cleaning an exhaust by bringing the exhaust in contact with a scrubbing liquid. The scrubber includes an exhaust passage that guides the exhaust, generated at the processing unit and containing the chemical liquid, toward an exhaust equipment disposed outside the substrate processing apparatus and a discharger that is able to discharge each of a plurality of types of scrubbing liquids that clean the exhaust individually inside the exhaust passage. A controller selects any one of the plurality of types of scrubbing liquids based on the type of chemical liquid contained in the exhaust and makes the selected scrubbing liquid be discharged from the discharger.
