It has a high reputation in related fields, and even organizes and participates in the preparation and revision of standards globally (such as AFNOR NF X15-211:2009 in France, JG/T385-2012 in China, National Standard Atlas 22K523, ANSI/ASSP Z9.5 in North America, NFPA 45 and CSA W316.5, etc.), and serves as the president of ISO TC336 International standardization of the president of ISO TC336 international standardization, and cannot play the role of a good standard setter without the deep accumulation of technology and products.
Erlab® is known for its safety, patented filtration technology that leads the industry in ductless air purification, adsorption of more than 700 common chemicals and continuous research and development breakthroughs. The adsorption capacity of the filter is superior to other technologies in the market, and there is no risk of desorption in environments below 180 degrees Celsius, which meets the common requirements of laboratories at home and abroad.
Erlab® sets a global benchmark by practicing green sustainability
As the world enters a phase of low-carbon, green and sustainable development, Erlab® filtration technology and filtering fume hoods have a new mission. Laboratories are reported to consume 5 to 10 times more energy than an average office building and generate an alarming amount of plastic waste and hazardous chemicals, with a single external fume hood using as much energy as 3.5 houses. Erlab® filtration technology and products are designed with energy efficiency and environmental protection in mind. Through continuous research and development, we have been able to save more than 90% of the energy used in ventilation without polluting the environment, thus successfully contributing to the construction of green “zero-energy” laboratories.
Erlab® Ductless Filtration Technology also serves as a green technology for global ecological protection, providing safe, flexible and sustainable solutions for laboratories in a wider range of industries such as government, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, hospitals, and research institutes. Its significant advantages in environmental friendliness and resource conservation have also been officially certified, entering the World Intellectual Property Organization’s WIPO Green Technology Database; products have been awarded LEED energy-saving certification; invited to participate in China’s Green Building Standards Development Summit; and participated in the Green Transformation Networking Luncheon during the visit, continuing to export positive impacts in the field of green and sustainable development. In the field of green sustainability, the company continues to export positive influence. From building a technology and product moat to an industry model, Erlab® is leading the industry to transition to a low-carbon future, one step at a time.
This time, the CEO of Erlab®, Stephane Hauville, accompanied the President on his visit, participated in the signing ceremony of the fifth meeting of the China-France Entrepreneurship Committee, met with the Chinese Minister of Commerce and attended the state banquet in the Great Hall of the People, which revealed the core position and influence of Erlab® Group in the relevant fields.
