Replacement Carbon Filters
Fumecare Filters can supply replacement carbon filters using our own carbon filter manufacturing facility. We produce quality manufactured carbon filters for our own Fumecare range of fume hoods as well as other manufacturers types of cabinets. Our Filters are manufactured in an accredited ISO9001-2015 facility.
We also offer a a full filter delivery, fitting and testing service along with full service operation on all makes of Fume Hood and Forensic cabinets.
Polypropylene Carbon Filters
Fumecare use welded polypropylene cases produced in our own facility allowing us to provide a quick turnaround as well as the ability to make custom sizes.

Filter fibres trap contaminants using three primary methods:
Interception takes place when a contaminant particle passes within the distance equal to one particle’s radius of a filter fibre, resulting in it touching the fibre and being removed from the airflow. Particles further than one particle radius from a fibre will not be trapped. Inertial impaction occurs when a large particle, unable to adjust to the change in air direction near a filter fibre, becomes trapped on the fibre. The particle’s inertia ensures that it continues along its original path instead of circumventing the fibre, resulting in its capture. Diffusion relies on the Brownian motion of gas particles. Small particles (typically 0.1 am or less) tend to travel on a streamline in an erratic fashion, making random motions as they interact with gas molecules. This erratic motion causes the contaminant particles to become stuck to filter fibres.

HEPA Filters
High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and ultra-low particulate air (ULPA) filters are air filters designed to trap a vast majority of very small particulate contaminants from an air stream.

The Concept of Adsorption
The main principle on which the filtration of gas molecules is based on the concept of adsorption. The two main processes by which adsorption takes please are: Physical & Chemisorption
Physical
Physical adsorption is non-specific and adsorption of the gas molecule is achieved by diffusion or adsorption/condensation using Van Der Waals’ forces. The gas molecules move into the filter and diffuse into the pore and are captured in the pore by the Van Der Waals’ force, the molecules penetrate into the pores, impact the walls and are trapped. The number of pores present in the carbon is vast and therefore the total surface area is extremely large. The specific surface is the measure of the surface area per unit of weight, which is m2/g. An indication on the carbon is use is that 5Gms of carbons represents a surface area roughly equivalent to a football pitch.
Chemisorption
The physical process of adsorption is followed by the chemical adsorption (chemisorption). This is the chemical reaction in which the two substances react together and the resultant chemical is trapped on the filter material. The impregnation of filter media can greatly extend the range of gases that can be removed from the air stream. As well as our standard activated carbon, we carry a range of impregnated activated carbon optimised for the adsorption of acids, ammonia, amines, sulphur compounds, formaldehyde, mercury and other compounds. With details of your intended application we can use your in-house knowledge and experience to recommend the most suitable carbon of your use.
