Enhancing fume cupboard containment with CFD

05 Aug, 2025

Clean Air continues to lead the way in advanced fume containment, combining specialist expertise with a strong commitment to sustainability. Winners of the Best Sustainability Initiative at the 2025 Labmate Awards, the company translates its environmental values into real-world impact by refining designs, improving performance, and supporting safe, efficient laboratories.

From high-performance ranges such as APEX, OPTIMAX, and Radius Profile to specialised polypropylene solutions for acid resistance and stainless steel units for nuclear applications, Clean Air provides fume cupboards and extraction systems tailored to the exacting needs of every lab.

The company’s in-house computational fluid dynamics (CFD) capability, developed to eliminate the need for harmful SF₆ in type-testing, now drives its design processes. Airflow can be modelled at billions of points to enhance containment and efficiency across the full product range.

Whatever the sector, Clean Air delivers innovation, protection, and performance that laboratories can rely on - today and into the future.
