Cambridge-based laboratory supplier, Camlab is now exclusively offering a new
environmentally-friendly solution from ERLAB in the form of the new energy
saving Green Fume Hood range that offers all the benefits of traditional
filtration hoods while solving the problem of limited filter selectivity.
The Green Fume Hood features a new
carbon-based filtration unit called Neutrodine® which can be used for all
chemical types (previously five filters were required) and can handle around
99.8% of laboratory chemicals with up to 50% improvement in retention capacity.
A common problem facing laboratories
worldwide is that although safety fume hoods allow users to work safely when
handling dangerous chemicals they also consume enormous amounts of energy in
the process. The energy drain is principally because safety fume hoods
often run 24 hours a day to maintain the air balance in a building and
consequently waste energy by constantly expelling heated/cooled air as well as
pumping noxious contaminants directly outside into the surrounding environment.
Although the energy benefits of ductless
filtration fume hoods have been known for some time the main limitation has
been the scope of chemicals that the filters can handle which requires users to
select from up to five different types of filter and makes it complicated to
ensure safety.
The Green Fume Hood with Neutrodine®
provides a safe, flexible alternative to old style ducted fume hoods for the
first time. The hood offers massive energy savings and a reduction of
pollution in the local environment. The addition of HEPA filters, (dedicated to
particles), further improves the safety of the hoods over ducted versions as
they can be safely used for powders without the build-up of dangerous or
flammable contaminants in ductwork.
The filtration reliability of Green Fume
Hood's Neutrodine unit is demonstrated by filtration tests performed in
accordance with the AFNOR NF X 15 21: 2009 standard which is the most stringent
in the world.
The standard challenges
the filtration of a ductless fume hood and guarantees a concentration of
chemicals at the filter exhaust lower than 1% of the daily work exposure limit.
As the exclusive UK agent for the Green Fume Hood
range, Camlab is able to offer the full range of hoods and filters including
the revolutionary Neutrodine® technology. Camlab offers full support
including sales advice, installation services and back up from their national
team of Asura trained engineers. Camlab is ideally equipped to help
architects, lab designers and planners to determine where to install this new
technology and to evaluate its benefits according to customer needs.
