The global pharmaceutical cannabis market is forecasted to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR) of 104.2% from 2022 to 2028, with capital investments following suit. It's thanks to this rapid growth in throwaway expenditure that TION Global secured a one-off project with Ananda Developments Plc to create a bespoke, twin-sash laminar flow fume hood.

About this case study:
Brief
Ananda Developments required a bespoke fume extraction system to double as a self-contained pollination chamber that prevents cross-contamination between cannabis strains. It needs to function like a cleanroom on a smaller scale.
Solution
We designed a 3.5-meter-wide, twin-sash laminar flow fume hood equipped with four self-contained pollination chambers and HEPA filtration. It was connected to 10 meters of PVC duct on a CAV (constant air volume) system.
Outcome
During initial tests, the product performed well. We decided to retrofit roof-mounted sprinklers connected to an external control system, mimicking the effects of rain. This enabled staff to maintain the plants without risking contamination.
Summary
Ananda Developments PLC has been a pleasure to work with. This project allowed our solution designers to flex their creative muscles and create something unique to the pharmaceutical cannabis market. It shows TION's commitment to innovation.
