<h1>Chemical Fume Extractors: More Important Than Ever for Business</h1>

Businesses that have even low levels of smoke or chemical fumes can create a number of hazards that can cost you in terms of health and the success or failure of your business. Many people think that if the A/C system is running, it will eventually clear out the air and any smoke or fumes will be captured and removed, eliminating any problems.

 

This is definitely not the case, as the A/C or HVAC system first circulates the polluted air, allowing employees and customers to breathe it, and then as new smoke or fumes are added to the air, more is circulated. The result is indoor air that is constantly polluted, creating a consistent health threat to employees, customers, and the business owner.

 

This is where smoke eater and fume extractor systems have become more important than ever. In the U.S., we have a growing number of industrial and commercial businesses, a growing population of new smokers, and the use of new, fume-producing commercial cleaners and other products creating more poor indoor air quality conditions for employees, workers, and customers. Even the business or restaurant is ‘smoke-free’, you still have those chemical residues from cleaning products, copiers, paints, solvents, reagents, and so many other sources (even stored products) that all cause fumes to build up in an enclosed space, becoming more of a hazard over time—unless of course, you have a proper gas collection system with industrial grade carbon filters in place.

 

And for the record, purely electrostatic ‘smoke eaters’ that trap particles, ash, etc, 1) the performance degrades after the first layer of dust, or ash collects on the electrostatic plates , dropping from over 90% dust & ash removal to around 50% or lower, and 2) these systems often don’t have enough carbon to actually remove the chemical fumes, gases, & vapors for more than about a month before the carbon is saturated and allowing polluted air to pass through.

 

The best HVAC-based industrial fume collector systems are similar to welding and soldering fume extractors, and include not only anywhere from 30-100 pounds of specially activated carbon (industrial grade carbon, not ordinary carbon) but also true HEPA filters that trap over 99% of all particles, ash, soot, etc consistently for 1-3 years before a filter change is needed. This type of fume or smoke collection system is a true ‘smoke eater’ as it traps all of the polluting elements contained in smoke or fumes effectively—any system with anything less than these types of filters is leaving pollutants in the air and creating hazards for you and your business. Your business doesn’t have to create methane, hydrogen sulfide, or mercury vapor to have a problem—there are a great number of products that release pollutants and cause problems.

 

Any aerosol, cleaning product, sealant, solvent, paint and many other compounds, materials do release compounds if you check the MSDS reports. Regardless, the simple, one-step solution to prevent problems, capture and remove smoke and fumes effectively–and reduce liability—is to install the right kind of fume & gas extraction system the first time. True, it may cost a little more, but that little bit extra is a lot less than making lawsuit or OSHA fine payments.
