Laboratory Fume hood with Scrubber

Laboratory Fume hood with Scrubber About

chemical fume hood is a ventilated enclosure used in laboratories to safely handle toxic or volatile substances. When paired with a scrubber system, it gains the ability to neutralize or remove harmful gases, vapors, or particles before they are released into the atmosphere.

1. Fume Hood Cabinet:

   • Provides a physical barrier between the user and the chemicals.

   • Equipped with a sash window (typically glass) that can be adjusted.

2. Exhaust System:

   • Draws contaminated air away from the work surface.

3. Scrubber Unit:

   • Installed in the exhaust duct.

   • Uses chemical neutralization, water spray, or packed bed filters to treat hazardous gases (e.g., acid vapors, ammonia, chlorine).

   • Commonly includes a recirculating pump, spray nozzles, and a sump for liquid waste.
