Fume Hoods in Seychelles
Available Fume Hoods Models

A fume hood is a vital piece of laboratory ventilation equipment designed to protect users and the environment from hazardous fumes, vapours, and dusts generated during chemical processes or medical procedures. Operating as a self-contained workspace, it draws ambient air into the hood and expels it outside the building through an exhaust system, thereby creating a negative pressure environment that prevents airborne contaminants from escaping into the laboratory or clinic.

In Seychelles, the safe handling of hazardous chemicals and the protection of personnel from harmful vapors and particulates are paramount across various healthcare and research facilities. Fume hoods are essential equipment for any setting where these risks are present. While large teaching hospitals and major diagnostic laboratories will have a significant demand, even smaller, specialized clinics and research institutions can benefit greatly from their use.

Ensuring the optimal performance and safety of your new fume hood in Seychelles begins with a meticulous installation process. Our expert technicians follow a comprehensive procedure, from initial site assessment to final calibration, guaranteeing your equipment meets the highest industry standards.

Site Preparation

Before delivery, a thorough site assessment is crucial. This involves:

• Ventilation Assessment: Verifying adequate airflow and exhaust capacity for the chosen fume hood model. We will assess existing ductwork and recommend any necessary modifications or new installations to comply with Seychelles' environmental and safety regulations.
• Power and Utility Connections: Confirming the availability of appropriate electrical outlets and any required plumbing for water or gas services, ensuring all connections are safe and up to code.
• Physical Space Clearance: Ensuring sufficient space for the fume hood's footprint, including clearance for door operation and access for maintenance.
• Structural Integrity: Assessing the floor or benchtop to ensure it can safely support the weight of the fume hood and its contents.

Delivery And Placement

Upon completion of site preparation, the fume hood will be carefully delivered to your facility. Our team ensures:

• Safe Transportation: The fume hood is transported securely to prevent any damage during transit within Seychelles.
• Precise Placement: The unit is moved and positioned in the designated installation area with care and precision.

Installation Steps

Our certified technicians will then proceed with the installation, which typically includes:

• Mounting and Securing: The fume hood is securely mounted to the designated benchtop or floor, ensuring stability.
• Ductwork Connection: The fume hood's exhaust collar is expertly connected to the building's existing or newly installed ventilation system. All connections are sealed to prevent any leaks.
• Electrical and Utility Hook-up: Power, lighting, and any other required utility connections are made by qualified personnel, adhering to all safety protocols.
• Accessory Installation: Any optional accessories, such as service fixtures (water, gas, vacuum), electrical outlets, or specialized lighting, are installed and tested.
• Initial System Test: A preliminary test of the exhaust fan and interior lighting is conducted to ensure basic functionality.

Calibration And Commissioning

The final and critical stage involves rigorous calibration and commissioning to guarantee peak performance and safety. This includes:

• Face Velocity Measurement: Using specialized anemometers, we measure and calibrate the inward face velocity of the fume hood to ensure it meets the required airflow standards for effective containment of hazardous substances, as per relevant international and local guidelines for Seychelles.
• Airflow Uniformity Check: We verify that airflow is uniform across the entire face of the hood.
• Sash Stop Adjustment: The maximum sash opening is set to maintain optimal face velocity while ensuring safe operation.
• Alarm System Testing: If equipped, all safety alarms (e.g., airflow monitors, fire suppression systems) are tested to confirm their proper functioning.
• Documentation and Training: A detailed installation report is provided, and your staff will receive comprehensive training on the proper operation, maintenance, and safety features of the new fume hood.

By adhering to this structured installation process, we ensure your fume hood in Seychelles operates at its intended capacity, providing a safe and productive working environment.

The cost of fume hoods in Seychelles can vary significantly based on several factors, including size, features, brand, and whether you're purchasing a new or a refurbished unit. As a general guideline, expect prices for standard laboratory-grade fume hoods to range from approximately SCR 15,000 to SCR 50,000 and upwards. More specialized or high-performance models, such as those with advanced filtration systems or larger capacities, can command higher prices. It's crucial to obtain direct quotes from suppliers operating in or serving the Seychelles market to get the most accurate pricing for your specific needs. Factors like shipping, installation, and any necessary certifications will also influence the final investment.
