Clean Air Company, a leading air filtration and ventilation system provider in the Tri-State Area, installed a state-of-the-art welding fume ventilation system at the Burlington County Institute of Technology (BCIT). The system was created as part of Clean Air Company's ongoing commitment to providing safe and healthy learning environments in educational institutions. The comprehensive ventilation system utilizes coral fume extraction arms in 30 welding booths to capture welding fumes and remove harmful particles from the air.
Removing Harmful Airborne Particles
Welding fumes contain tiny solid particles (.01 - 1 micrometer in diameter) created when metal vapors produced during welding cool and condense. The particles typically clump together to form larger aggregates (1 - 4 micrometers in diameter, depending on the type of welding method and metals used). The airborne particles can cause serious health issues when inhaled, including lung and respiratory problems. To ensure the safety of BCIT students and staff, Clean Air Company's team of experts worked closely with the school to customize a ventilation system appropriate for their needs that effectively removes these harmful particles from the air.
The system includes highly efficient filters with minimum efficiency reporting values (MERV) of 15, which can capture up to 98% of particles during initial filtration. In addition, a secondary high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter further purifies the air by removing up to 99.9% of the remaining particles before returning the air back into the classroom.
Reducing Operating Costs
Clean Air Company customized the ventilation system for BCIT to meet the school’s specific needs, demonstrating its expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction. Through collaborative efforts, Clean Air Company and BCIT achieved an optimized design that maximizes effectiveness while minimizing energy consumption.
One key feature of BCIT’s new ventilation system is its self-cleaning mechanism, which ensures that the system can continuously remove welding fumes from the air without any system downtime. The system monitors the filters for restricted airflow and automatically cleans them using compressed air until their lifespan is exhausted. This process guarantees clean air and reduces the school's maintenance and operational costs, making it a cost-effective long-term solution.
Unlike traditional systems that exhaust tempered air outside, Clean Air Company's system purifies and recirculates existing air, eliminating the need for constant exhaust and providing significant energy savings. This reduces energy costs and improves overall air quality in the school by continuously filtering out harmful particles.
