Dust, smoke, fine particles, chemical odors… Industrial processes generate numerous compounds that pollute your working environment. However, air quality control<\/strong> is essential in industry to protect the health of your employees and the operation of your facilities. The solution: invest in an industrial air treatment<\/strong> system. Dehumidifiers, ventilation systems, air purifiers, heating and air conditioning equipment, air handling units, industrial dust removal, smoke extraction, odor eliminators, particle filters… To help you make sense of the equipment jungle, we explain why and how to treat the air in your industrial building<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

In an industrial environment, controlling air quality<\/a> is essential to a company’s health and productivity. It’s a complex subject that requires careful study before investing in a safe and efficient air handling system. <\/p>\n\n

How do I treat the air in my workshop?<\/h2>\n\n

Two main families of solutions can be envisaged.<\/p>\n\n

Source capture<\/strong>: this involves capturing pollutants as close as possible to the source generating them, to prevent them from spreading into the air. This can be done using a number of capture accessories: a suction arm, an extraction hood, a hood, a suction backsplash, a Pouyes ring, a suction booth, a suction wall, a suction plenum or even a suction table when a workstation is to be treated. When the source comes from a production machine, it can be connected directly to the air handling unit via a network of ducts or pipes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Ambient treatment<\/strong> involves capturing ambient pollutants present in the air of your workspace. This method is generally used when the pollutant source is unknown, diffuse or inaccessible. The devices used are air handling units or industrial air purifiers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

For source capture, sufficient air velocity must be induced. With sufficient air flow, the initial trajectory of polluted air will be altered and forced to flow through your vacuum system. The formula for calculating the required flow rate is as follows: <\/p>\n\n
