At Roperhurst, we specialize in delivering safety-critical fume extraction and abatement systems tailored to the unique needs of industrial, scientific, and educational environments. With nearly five decades of experience, our expertise encompasses the design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance of plastic ductwork systems, fume scrubbers, and associated components, ensuring compliance with the highest industry standards.
Comprehensive Fume Management Services
Fume Capture Systems
Effective containment of hazardous fumes is vital across various sectors, including chemical processing, research laboratories, and manufacturing facilities. Our solutions are customized to your specific processes and include:
-
Fume Cupboards and Hoods: Designed for laboratories and industrial settings to safely capture airborne contaminants.
-
Cleanroom Wet Benches: Tailored for environments requiring stringent contamination control.
-
Process Line Lip Extracts: Engineered to efficiently capture fumes directly at the source.
We collaborate closely with clients to develop systems that meet both operational requirements and regulatory compliance.
Fume Removal and Discharge
As active contributors to the BESA DW154 standard, Roperhurst ensures that all plastic ductwork systems are fabricated and installed to meet or exceed these guidelines. Our ductwork solutions are constructed from materials such as PVC, polypropylene (PPs), polyethylene, and PVDF, with options for GRP reinforcement to enhance durability and chemical resistance.

Advanced Fume Abatement Technologies
To mitigate the environmental impact of hazardous emissions, we offer a range of fume abatement solutions, including:
-
Activated Carbon Absorption: Utilizes highly porous carbon materials to adsorb volatile organic compounds and odorous gases.
-
Bio-media Filtration: Employs biological processes using media such as pumice stones to break down odorous components like hydrogen sulfide.
-
Chemical Scrubbing Systems: Incorporates vertical or horizontal scrubbers with packed media sections, de-misters, and droplet eliminators to remove contaminants from gas streams.
Each system is custom-designed to address specific chemical profiles and operational constraints, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with environmental regulations.
Plastic Ductwork and GRP Solutions
Our capabilities extend to the fabrication and installation of complex plastic and GRP structures, including:
-
Plastic Ductwork: Manufactured to BESA DW154 specifications, suitable for challenging environments such as chemical plants, steelworks, and nuclear facilities.
-
GRP Reinforced Stacks: Modular, free-standing designs tailored to site-specific requirements.
-
Custom Pipework Modules: Designed for integration with fume scrubbers and other critical systems.
