FV900 S2 Ventilation Extraction Fan

The demand for ventilation fans has been on the rise in recent months, as major construction projects (such as HS2, Hinkley Point C and Crossrail and the Battersea Power Station redevelopment) require specialist equipment to maintain a safe working environment.

Ventilation fans are an essential part of any construction project, as they provide a constant flow of fresh air and help to remove dust, fumes, and other hazardous particles from the work area. In addition, ventilation fans also help to regulate the temperature and humidity levels within a construction site, ensuring that workers can carry out their tasks in a comfortable and safe environment during the fast-approaching summer months.

Hydrogen sulphide build-up averted thanks to temporary ventilation hire

A waste treatment plant is designed for organic and nutrient removal from sewage water, with toxicity traits generally high in the effluents present. Despite many contaminants being extracted as a result of the treatment process itself, there will always be some environmental risks that remain and warrant due consideration.

One of these is the colourless gas hydrogen sulphide – commonly referred to as ‘sewer gas’ – which is highly poisonous, highly corrosive, and often present in wastewater applications. There are various issues associated with hydrogen sulphide, including its threat to human safety, noxious odours given off and the generation of corrosive sulphuric acid.
