Applications of Ductless Fume Hoods in the Chemical Industry

Chemical production often involves hazardous chemicals, powders, solvents, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can result in safety incidents and environmental contamination if mishandled.

Ducted fume hoods commonly encounter challenges such as high energy consumption, frequent malfunctions, inadequate exhaust efficiency, and potential leakage over time.
With their innovative design, ductless fume hoods provide novel protective solutions for laboratories in the chemical industry.

Common experiments and handlings

-Inspection of raw materials, intermediate products, and finished products includes viscosity measurement, specific gravity determination, water content analysis, solid content evaluation, color assessment, titration analysis, gas chromatography (GC), infrared spectroscopy (IR), particle size analysis, digestion tests, etc.

-Laboratory sample preparation involves the entire process from weighing to preparing samples.

Process Risk

Solvent volatilization

The paint industry serves as an example, where benzene organic compounds volatilize during detection or experimentation, leading to inhalation. Inhaling benzene can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and even loss of consciousness. Prolonged exposure can affect the bone marrow and lead to anemia and leukemia.

Powder splashing

When weighing and stirring powdered raw materials or products, the powder can exceed air
particulate matter standards, leading to inhalation.

Chemical storage

Many types of reagents are used in the chemical industry and safety management is important.
