KEY OBJECTIVES

Nick Zieleniewski, Co-owner of Glentham Life Sciences, sought Monmouth Scientific’s expertise to enhance the efficiency and safety of their chemical powder, liquid, and substance transfer and repackaging processes.

Powder Containment Booth

Monmouth Scientific was tasked with designing and installing a bespoke Powder Containment Booth. This booth was engineered to provide exceptional functionality and flexibility for handling chemical powders at Glentham Life Sciences.

The custom solution was tailored for medium to heavy powders, featuring high-velocity rear extraction with air filtering capabilities up to 1250m³/hr and air velocity reaching 0.7m/s. This system effectively contains excess particulates, directing them through H14 HEPA filters before releasing clean air back into the workspace.

Standing at full room height, the unit’s open-front design allows easy access to the work area, meeting the client’s need for versatility in handling various sizes of containment drums.

Ducted Fume Cupboard

In addition to powders, Glentham Life Sciences also needed a solution for transferring liquids and other non-solid chemical substances. The Ductaire® 1200 Ducted Fume Cabinet met these requirements, fully complying with COSHH regulations and ensuring a clean air environment for safe task execution.

The cabinet’s folding front glazing provides full access to the working chamber, which includes a cable access port for easy installation of equipment like balances. Constructed from high chemical-resistant, fully welded polypropylene, the cabinet includes an integral spillage containment area. A bespoke work surface was also created to accommodate large liquid containment vessels, further enhancing flexibility.
