ACTIVATED CARBON EXTRACT BOOTH AT COATINGS FACTORY

Issue

A specialist powder coating operation at a factory was giving off very dangerous fumes.

These were being extracted and discharged into the atmosphere. The EHO had set a level of 5% of the existing discharge level, with the threat of closure if this could not be achieved.

Solution

We designed and installed a downdraft booth with 5 stages of filtration, including 2 stages of activated carbon filter. The emissions from the downdraft booth post carbon filter fan were less than 1% following this.
