Fume Extractors for Laboratory Processes: Vital for Safety and Maximum Productivity

Labs that do research or have processes running constantly battle airborne substances, fumes, and sometimes bacteria or other infectious agents. Most do have ventilation hoods, but many of those hoods don’t always remove all of the fumes, gases, vapors or other materials before they are inhaled by the laboratory staff. And in some cases, there is no ventilation hood, which creates immediate hazards that threaten the safety and productivity of the lab staff.
 
That’s where portable chemical gas collection systems can quickly eliminate hazards and help maintain lab productivity. Quality fume capturing units such as those from Electrocorp include anywhere from 23 to over 100 pounds of specially-activated carbon to properly remove tough chemicals, gases, and even particles that might be in the air. And since these fume collection units are portable, they can be rolled around to different areas of a lab to provide effective industrial grade air filtration exactly where it is needed.
 
Keep in mind, however, that all fume extractors aren’t the same. If the unit doesn’t have a sufficient amount (at least 20 pounds or more) of high-quality industrial grade activated carbon, a good pre-filter system to prevent premature clogging of the carbon filter, and a good CFM output—at least 300 CFM—that fume extractor isn’t going to remove the fumes, VOC’s, vapors & gases effectively. And without enough carbon, the filter will only last a few months, causing multiple expensive carbon filter replacements.
 
It’s also highly recommended that that you have a HEPA filter in the fume & vapor capturing unit, as well, if there is any possibility of airborne particles. A fume extractor with a HEPA filter covers all the bases by removing over 99% of all airborne chemicals, vapors, and any particles, providing excellent health protection and better air quality for the laboratory staff—which means higher productivity and profits, too.
