Safelab - was Ventilate or Scrub
"Dan Quinn" wrote in message om... Thread thiefs got away with my thread. It is obvious to me that they did not read any of the information at www.safelab.com. Dan, It would appear that you are directing this comment to me. Sorry if I have offended you with bad news. Yes, I have seen the Safelab site. Their clientele are not the hobbyist, nor even photo minilabs. They serve industrial laboratories. It would appear that all of their work is on custom installations. That is not cheap. FYI I have 37 years of industrial experience as a licensed professional engineer and have some understanding of the reasons for using a scrubber. You use a scrubber when the EPA or state environmental quality people object to a situation such as 1/2 ton of hydrochloric acid fumes being exhausted each day. You go to Safelab when you stand to lose millions of dollars if you are shut down or fined. You usually need skilled trades to maintain scrubbers and technicians to test their operation. Only a hugh commercial darkroom like Qualex would ever need a scrubber. If you are still unconvinced, then check out the photo minilabs around you. They would surely scrub the exhaust if photo quality or regularions called for it. Ask if they are even required to scrub the exhaust air. They may not even know what you are talking about. I just spoke with the minilab operator at my camera store. They are a professional quality lab, and the operator used to sell minilabs. They have no scrubber on their equipment and know of no EPA regulation requiring it. I sincerely think that you are off on a wild goose chase here. PSsquare |

PSsquare I'm reminded of the Japanese animated series "The Adventures of Robotech" A race of giant humanoids called the the Centrani were part of the mix of characters. They were of huge proportions. I think you have spent too much time in their world. Dan |
