What do you need for source capture?

  • Capture Hood– This is where the contaminants are captured and enter the local exhaust ventilation (LEV) system. Capture hoods need to be correct for the individual process.

  • Air Cleaner – The air cleaner filters or cleans the extracted air from any airborne contaminants and collects it for safe disposal. (Some processes do not require filtration)

  • Air Mover– A fan that moves air and particles through the system. Fans are available in various kinds (subjective to what’s being extracted) and come in multiple power capabilities and capacities.

  • Discharge– The extracted air is released back into the atmosphere at a safe place outside, per the building heights.

The practical application of LEV requires a good understanding of processes and the dust sources they create.

  • Designers: interpret the needs of their customers to provide effective LEV systems capable of delivering the required control.

  • Installers: put in the LEV equipment and commission it to ensure it adequately controls contaminant exposure.

  • Examiners: detect and remedy system defects to ensure that LEV systems continue to deliver effective control.
