TION Global Limited has designed, installed and commissioned five cutting-edge polypropylene fume cupboards at Puraffinity's new laboratory in Central London. The primary aim of this project is to increase Puraffinity's R&D capabilities and help the company achieve its annual growth targets. Initially, the project focused solely on relocating the business to larger premises. However, it soon became apparent that the company also required a series of specialised fume hoods to overcome their increased research demands.

About this case study:
Brief
The project requires a series of fume extraction systems to run experiments over several hours without manual intervention. Consequently, the products must be corrosion-resistant, ergonomic and energy-efficient.
Solution
TION supplied three ducted fume cupboards and two walk-in fume cupboards with bespoke gas taps, plug sockets and work benches. Each cabinet was also manufactured from medical-grade welded polypropylene.
Outcome
The ducted cabinets allowed Puraffinity to increase its testing capacities while removing 100% of chemical corrosion. On the other hand, the VAV duct system reduced air wastage by 70%, while the walk-in cabinets stored heavy equipment.
Summary
The project was completed on schedule, with minimal delays, demonstrating TION's ability to coordinate effectively and efficiently. Puraffinity was pleased with the outcome and remains a valued client.
Our walk-in fume cupboards are 100% bespoke because of the specialist nature of their use. They are the perfect choice for facilities that need to protect operators using substantial and weighty equipment, which is too large for benchtop cabinets.
Our ducted fume cupboards offer exceptional containment for a broad range of high-strength, chemical-intensive applications. We offer a selection of standard and bespoke cabinet sizes, each equipped with DW154 ductwork and a choice of mounting options.
