Passive make-up air and building extraction
With passive make-up air, room air enters through the sash opening. Extracted air is routed to the building system.

Technical details on airflow and filtration
Active supply air
Fans supply air to designated areas. Depending on the design, supply air can pass through a HEPA filter.
Filtered recirculation
Depending on the chemicals and system design, part of the air can be filtered and recirculated.
HEPA and activated carbon
HEPA filters capture particles. Depending on the filter medium, activated carbon can adsorb certain gases and vapours. Filter stages can be combined where appropriate.
Frequently asked questions
When is a fume hood appropriate?
If a laboratory process requires an enclosed workspace with extraction, we assess whether a fume hood fits the workflow.
What information does exateq need?
Useful inputs include media, concentrations, temperatures, workflows, required workspace and existing connections.
How is extraction integrated?
The building extraction interface is coordinated with the operator based on the installation site and process media.
When are extraction and recirculation suitable?
Selection depends on the substances, release rates, operating conditions and extraction connection. Partial filtered recirculation can be considered when the design is suitable for those conditions.
Can HEPA and activated carbon filters be combined?
Yes, where both particles and adsorbable gases or vapours need to be addressed. Filter stages are selected for the application.
