<h1>Fume Extractors for Chemical Air Filtration--Choose Carefully</h1>

Portable fume extractors are used in a variety of situations where harmful chemical vapors and gases need to be removed quickly, with the ability to easily move the unit to wherever the air needs to be cleaned. Choosing the right fume extractor can be tough, however, and you can both overspend and not get the proper fume and gas removal that you need if you’re not sure about what features to look for.

 

First, a fume extractor’s main function is to trap chemical compounds and usually does this with an activated carbon filter. What’s important to keep in mind is that just because it says ‘activated carbon’ doesn’t automatically mean that the filter can remove any type of chemical pollutant. Activated carbon air cleaner filters can provide chemical air filtration with varying degrees of efficiency, usually with on a rating scale of 1-4, with 4 indicating excellent removal for that chemical and 1 indicating poor or minimal removal capacity.

 

It’s very important to tell whoever you are buying the fume extractor from what specific chemical vapors need to be removed, such as hydrogen sulfide gas, etc. If they don’t ask you about what chemicals are present in the room, stop right there and go to another supplier because they are trying to sell you something that may or may not remove the hazardous chemicals you’re dealing with—and that could negatively affect your health, your customers, your business and more. Your salesperson, technician etc should look up each chemical you need to have removed and find out if a special carbon blend is needed to remove each of them, ensuring that the removal capacity of the carbon filter is at a 3 or 4, which is acceptable.

 

Next, you want a portable fume extractor that also has a HEPA filter (such as the Electrocorp LD 450), not just a carbon filter. This is because in workshops and many industrial situations, manufacturing, laser engraving, etc, there are also dangerous fine particles that people do not need to breathe and having a quality HEPA filter in the unit helps prevent dust, particles, fibers, etc from being inhaled or getting in or onto other items, clogging up machinery, and causing other issues.

 

And, if you’re dealing with or using the fume extractor in any process that produces any sparks or deals with flammable materials, you want a spark arrestor pre-filter as well, which traps any tiny burning embers and keeps them from igniting other materials or causing a fire inside the fume extractor. This is especially important for welding and soldering applications.
