A full range of air extraction systems for chemistry laboratories in research centres and universities

Chemistry laboratories are workspaces where a wide variety of chemicals are used. All of them pose health risks to laboratory technicians to varying degrees; this is why ventilated containment systems (fume cupboards) are generally used for experiments involving large volumes of chemicals of known toxicity.

The possibilities of accidents in a chemistry laboratory are numerous given the diversity and high number of operations carried out, and the wide variety of chemicals used and/or stored.

The taste for research begins in schools and universities.

Teaching and research laboratories are particular working environments due to the diversity and turnover of professionals and users working there.

In addition to the presence of various risk factors, they are subject to a higher frequency of accidents if safety practices are not adopted.

To ensure student safety when handling products, one of the main safety devices in a laboratory is the fume cupboard.
 
The fume cupboard is a ventilated enclosure in which gases, vapours and fumes are contained. A SEAT Ventilation air extractor located outside the building draws air and suspended contaminants through ducts connected to the fume cupboard and exhausts them into the atmosphere.

Well designed, correctly installed and maintained, the system can offer a substantial degree of protection to the user, provided that its limits are known and it is used in compliance with standards.

SEAT Ventilation polypropylene fans draw fumes, vapours and airborne contaminants from the fume cupboard or extraction arm and exhaust them outside the building.
A chemistry laboratory in a research centre or university where operations are carried out with products emitting corrosive vapours and gases must be equipped with a ventilation system to capture them to keep the atmosphere healthy at all times and at the same time protect the health of the personnel working in the laboratory.

The healthiness of a laboratory can be ensured by a general ventilation system that renews the air.

When operations are carried out on dangerous gaseous or volatile products or generating reactions that give rise to such products, the use of a fume cupboard is essential: laboratories generally contain several depending on their type of activity.

Fume cupboards are designed to protect the user and their immediate environment thanks to an external extraction system that draws in corrosive or toxic gases and vapours.

Made of polypropylene and with a high level of performance, SEAT Ventilation fans are perfectly suited for corrosive or toxic work environments.

SEAT Ventilation fans and extractors can be installed outside the building (on the roof or terrace), but also inside, in galleries or technical rooms.

The diverse and varied range of SEAT Ventilation fans is perfectly suited for any size of laboratory fume cupboard.
