APS was approached by a prominent manufacturer and supplier of cleaning products catering to the automotive industry. The client was in the process of building a new facility aimed at automating the mixing of diverse chemicals to produce their cleaning solutions.
The client initially engaged APS for the design package of six LEV systems tailored to their operational needs. After thorough consultation and evaluation, the client proceeded with the implementation phase. This project involved the design and installation of the systems across multiple critical areas within the facility, including the auto-mixing areas, manual mixing areas, acid dispensing areas and packaging lines.
Each area required a customised LEV system to effectively capture and remove airborne contaminants generated during the production process. The project encompassed the integration of extensive ductwork systems, advanced fans, and high-efficiency filters to ensure optimal performance and compliance with industry standards.
Challenges faced
The diverse nature of chemical mixing operations presented unique challenges in designing LEV systems capable of effectively managing various types of airborne contaminants. Ensuring adherence to stringent regulatory requirements governing workplace safety and environmental standards posed a challenge to the client. Through the implementation of our solutions, we helped them to comply with such regulations. Integration of the systems with the client’s automated mixing processes necessitated close collaboration between APS and the client to understand where the systems would be placed.
Solutions provided
Our expertise in air pollution control allowed us to develop bespoke LEV systems, considering factors such as airflow dynamics, chemical characteristics, and operator safety. High-efficiency filtration systems were integrated into each system to effectively capture and remove contaminants, safeguarding both worker health and environmental integrity. Throughout the project lifecycle, APS ensured strict adherence to regulations and standards, providing the client with peace of mind regarding legal compliance and workplace safety.
Benefits and outcomes
By partnering with APS to design and implement comprehensive LEV solutions, the client successfully mitigated occupational health risks associated with chemical exposure in the workplace. The integration of advanced filtration systems not only improved air quality, but also contributed to environmental sustainability by minimising emissions and reducing the facility’s carbon footprint.
