Fume Hoods in Tunisia
Available Fume Hoods Models

A fume hood, also known as a laboratory hood or exhaust hood, is a crucial piece of safety equipment designed to protect laboratory personnel and the surrounding environment from hazardous fumes, vapours, gases, and airborne particles. It achieves this by creating a controlled negative pressure environment within the hood, drawing contaminated air away from the user and exhausting it safely outside the building via a ventilation system. This process prevents the escape of potentially harmful substances into the general laboratory atmosphere.

The primary function of a fume hood is to contain and remove airborne contaminants generated during a wide range of laboratory procedures. It acts as a physical barrier, preventing direct inhalation exposure, and its directed airflow ensures that any released vapours are effectively captured and expelled.

In Tunisia's diverse healthcare and research landscape, a variety of facilities and departments rely on the critical safety and containment provided by fume hoods. These essential pieces of laboratory equipment are indispensable for protecting personnel from hazardous vapors, fumes, and dust, ensuring a safe working environment. Understanding which sectors and specific areas require fume hoods is key to optimizing laboratory safety and compliance with national and international standards.

Ensuring the optimal performance and safety of your new fume hood in your Tunisian laboratory begins with a meticulous installation process. Our expert technicians follow a comprehensive procedure designed to integrate your fume hood seamlessly into your existing infrastructure, guaranteeing compliance with local regulations and international safety standards.

Site Preparation:

Before delivery, our team will work with you to ensure your chosen installation site meets all necessary requirements. This includes verifying adequate space, accessibility for service, and proximity to essential utilities such as power, water, and ventilation extraction points. We will assess structural integrity for mounting and ensure proper clearance for safe operation and maintenance. Our site assessment also covers any specific Tunisian environmental considerations that might impact the installation.

Delivery And Unpacking:

Your fume hood will be carefully transported to your facility by our trained logistics team. Upon arrival, our technicians will oversee the secure unpacking of the equipment, conducting an initial visual inspection for any transit damage. We ensure that all components are accounted for and that the unit is ready for immediate installation.

Installation Steps:

Our certified engineers will then proceed with the installation, following a standardized yet adaptable protocol:

• Positioning and Securing: The fume hood will be precisely positioned in its designated location and securely anchored to prevent any movement.
• Ductwork Connection: We will expertly connect the fume hood's exhaust to your building's ventilation system. This critical step involves ensuring airtight seals and appropriate airflow management to guarantee effective fume extraction. For Tunisian facilities, we pay close attention to the quality and durability of ducting materials suitable for local climatic conditions.
• Utility Hookups: Electrical, water, and any other necessary utility connections will be made by qualified personnel, adhering to all safety codes and standards applicable in Tunisia.
• Sash and Baffle Adjustment: The fume hood's sash and internal baffles will be meticulously adjusted to achieve optimal airflow dynamics.
• Safety Feature Integration: All integrated safety features, including alarms and control systems, will be connected and tested.

Calibration And Commissioning:

Once physically installed, the fume hood undergoes rigorous calibration and commissioning to verify its performance parameters. This crucial phase includes:

• Face Velocity Measurement: We precisely measure and adjust the face velocity to ensure it meets the required international standards (e.g., ASHRAE 110) for effective containment.
• Airflow Pattern Testing: Using specialized smoke generators, we visualize and confirm that airflow patterns are consistent and effectively capture contaminants.
• Alarm System Verification: All audible and visual alarms are tested to ensure they function correctly in response to abnormal conditions.
• Documentation and Training: Upon successful commissioning, we provide comprehensive documentation, including installation reports and calibration certificates. Our team will also offer a thorough training session for your lab personnel on the proper operation and maintenance of the fume hood, emphasizing safety protocols relevant to your Tunisian laboratory environment.

Our commitment extends beyond installation; we ensure your fume hood is a reliable and safe component of your laboratory operations in Tunisia.

The cost of a fume hood in Tunisia can vary significantly, influenced by factors such as size, brand, material, specific features (e.g., specialized airflow systems, ductless options), and the supplier. For standard, general-purpose laboratory fume hoods, you can expect prices to range broadly. Smaller, basic models for educational or less demanding applications might start in the lower range, while larger, more robust units designed for heavy-duty chemical handling or advanced research facilities will command higher prices. When budgeting, it's essential to consider not just the initial purchase price but also potential installation costs, any necessary ductwork modifications, and ongoing maintenance requirements. Ductless or recirculating fume hoods, while offering installation flexibility, may have a different price point and require regular filter replacement.
