What’s Being Extracted?
Identifying the Contaminant and Its Risks
Before selecting a filtration system, the type and characteristics of the contaminant must be analyzed:
- Fine particles (PM10, PM2.5) generated during polishing, grinding, cutting, drilling, or material agitation
- Coarse chips (metal, wood, or plastic) produced in mechanical processing
- Fumes and gases emitted from chemical or thermal processes
- Organic or combustible dust with explosive potential (requiring an ATEX-Certified solution)
A reliable system must be tailored to the contaminant’s physical and chemical properties – from filter media and materials to operational mode and safety design.
Designing for Performance and Application Requirements
In addition to identifying the contaminant, the system must be designed according to process and flow requirements:
- Extraction rate (m³/h) based on facility layout and emission volume
- Static pressure (Pa), accounting for duct length and pressure losses
- Number of simultaneous extraction points
- Mode of operation – continuous or intermittent
- Environmental conditions – temperature, humidity, and corrosion exposure
The engineering team at A.B.P. Chemical Engineering and Ventilation Ltd. performs full system characterization, including on-site flow measurements, detailed reports, and custom engineering design for each client.
Filtration Technologies – Choosing the Right Filter
Filter selection is one of the most critical factors affecting a system’s performance, reliability, and maintenance:
- Mechanical pre-filters – capture large particles and chips
- Pleated cartridge filters – large-surface filters with automatic pulse-jet cleaning
- HEPA/ULPA filters – ultra-fine filtration for hazardous particulate matter
- Activated carbon filters – adsorption of VOCs, odors, and gaseous compounds
A.B.P. systems incorporate high-quality filtration media with optional self-cleaning, clogging detection, and wear monitoring technologies, ensuring consistent long-term performance.
The systems manufactured by A.B.P. Chemical Engineering and Ventilation Ltd. integrate safety engineering, European standards, and operational efficiency into a single, cohesive design.
Compliance, Safety, and Durability
Industrial extraction systems must comply with strict safety and regulatory standards:
- ATEX-Certified components for explosion-proof zones
- Sealed electrical panels with IP55 or higher protection
- Durable construction materials – galvanized steel, stainless steel, and insulated coatings
- Integrated safety features – emergency stop, differential pressure monitoring, and maintenance alerts
Physical Design and Installation
Proper system design also includes optimal placement and operational accessibility – determining whether the system is installed indoors or outdoors (with required weather protection), ensuring easy access for cleaning and maintenance, evaluating the feasibility of recirculating treated air, and minimizing noise and vibration.
In many projects, A.B.P. Chemical Engineering and Ventilation Ltd. provides complete engineering integration – including fans, ducts, suction arms, and infrastructure – creating a cohesive and efficient system tailored precisely to the client’s process and spatial constraints.
