Applications
HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL RESEARCH: Exhaust air from laboratory hoods, hospital and/or prison isolation wards may contain radioactive and infectious particulates. BSC Containment Systems safely exhausts filtered air from these facilities to the surrounding environment.
CHEMICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY: Control of air quality and protection of personnel working in the vicinity of lab hoods and research animals requires the use of HEPA filters and activated carbon filters. These filter elements are retained in a BSC Containment System which per- mits safe replacement of filter modules.
MILITARY: Government installations evaluating equipment and procedures require the protection of military personnel from the discharge of chemical, biological and radioactive (CBR) warfare agents. BSC Containment Systems are incorporated in the HVAC ventilation systems to prevent release of these agents to the atmosphere.
SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS: Air quality in schools and other public buildings vulnerable to toxic air requires control. Protection is provid- ed by pressurizing the inhabited spaces with makeup air filtered through a BSC Containment System.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH FACILITIES: Many laboratories work with materials requiring special safety procedures. BSC Containment Systems supplied with appropriate filters are used in conjunction with fume hoods to contribute to the safety of opera- tors, service personnel and the environment.
ELECTRONICS AND HIGH TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY: The develop- ment of crystals and electronic chip production often requires the application of chemicals which could be toxic. Air exhausted from these facilities is filtered in a BSC Containment System prior to venting to the atmosphere.
GENETIC ENGINEERING: Cultures are developed under controlled condi- tions with particulate and vapor phase filtration in exhaust and makeup air systems. These filter elements are contained in BSC Containment Systems assuring the controlled conditions in the lab are extended to other parts of the facility.
