Clean Air Limited

A legend of the fume cupboard industry is retiring - Will our MD has summed up our thoughts perfectly below. All the best for a long and happy retirement Ian Heatherington - we'll miss you!

As 2025 approaches, we’d like to thank our incredible clients, suppliers, and dedicated team for your support, collaboration, and hard work throughout the year. Your efforts have been invaluable in driving innovation and sustainability in everything we do. Here’s to a joyful Christmas and a New Year filled with success, growth, and new opportunities!

Think energy-efficient VAV and autosash are just for bench-mounted fume cupboards? Think again! This extra-deep walk-in fume cupboard is equipped with both, delivering significant energy savings for our client. Reduced lab energy costs mean a smaller carbon footprint and faster payback. Smart, sustainable, and cost-effective! Find out more here http://bit.ly/VAVfume #SustainableInnovation #EnergyEfficiency #LabDesign #FumeCupboard #Labsafety #VAV 

Well, we'd be daft not to repost this great photo with a very beautiful fume cupboard as the backdrop! We love working with The University of Sheffield and Royce at the University of Sheffield! Check out the case study on the fume cupboards we supplied for the Royce Discovery Centre http://bit.ly/RoyceSheff Innovate UK is another of our favourites - we enjoyed their support for a KTP project which has seen us develop the world's first net-zero fume cupboard testing method! We've saved around 177 tonnes of CO2e this year – and that’s just at Clean Air! Imagine that multiplied across the world…If you want to know more speak to our friendly team, or check out the Innovation section of the Clean Air website. #LabSafety #FumeCupboards #Sustainability #NetZero #Decarbonise #CFD

An interesting paper from Siemens about our use of CFD. It allows us to eliminate SF6 - a damaging greenhouse gas - from the fume cupboard design and testing processes. In addition, we can optimise containment, protecting lab operators from fumes, gases, aerosols and vapours. Sustainability and safety - win-win! #LabSafety #FumeCupboard #containment #sustainability #CFD

If you're attending Day 2 of Lab Innovations then head over to the award-winning (yaaaay) Clean Air Limited stand - D50 - and find out. We're looking forward to meeting you!

We are absolutely delighted to announce that Clean Air Limited has won the Best Sustainable Innovation Award at the Lab Innovations exhibition awards! This recognition is especially meaningful as it comes amidst incredibly strong competition, underscoring the importance of sustainable solutions in our industry. A huge thank you to Lab Innovations and Innovate UK for this accolade and for their continued support in fostering sustainable progress. This win fuels our commitment to push the boundaries of sustainability in fume cupboard and laboratory design and performance. We’re particularly proud of Dr Andrew Manning, whose work replaces SF6 in fume cupboard type-testing with advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology, a significant step in reducing harmful greenhouse gases. Andy joined us through a KTP with The Manchester Metropolitan University majority funded by Innovate UK, so it completes the circle to see him contribute to this success as part of our winning team. #SustainableInnovation #LabInnovations #CleanAir #InnovateUK #NetZero #TeamWork Mayah The Manchester Metropolitan University Ling Qian Rasool Erfani Rashid Jamshidi

Lab Innovations Bound! The OPTIMAX and PPX fume cupboards are securely wrapped, the vans are loaded, and the Clean Air Limited team is ready to go! Lab Innovations, here we come. We’re looking forward to meeting visitors and talking all things containment and sustainability. If you’re attending, make sure to drop by Stand 50 to say "Hi!" To show our appreciation, we’ll plant a tree on your behalf. And if you're there tomorrow come over and cheer us on - we're shortlisted for the Best Sustainable Innovation Award - Eliminating SF6 from the Laboratory Fume Cupboard Supply Chain. See you there! #LabInnovations #Sustainability #Containment #CleanAir

At this year’s Lab Innovations Clean Air has ditched the pens and stress balls in favour of a much greener giveaway! For every visitor to our stand (D50), we'll plant a UK sapling in local woodlands on your behalf – and send you a certificate telling you where it’s located and what species it is. As finalists for the Lab Innovations Sustainable Innovation Award, in what is a very strong field this year, Clean Air is proud to showcase the latest advances in sustainable technology. Since 2017, we’ve reduced our carbon footprint annually, even as our turnover has grown, and have invested heavily in developing a new, groundbreaking net-zero type-testing method for fume cupboards. This innovative approach involves using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It eliminates the need for harmful greenhouse gases while ensuring optimal containment. Come and meet the team on Stand D50, find out how we can help you achieve your sustainability goals - and plant a tree with CFD! #LabSafety #LabInnovations #Sustainability #FumeCupboards #CFD #PlantATree

The whole team is excited about Lab Innovations at the NEC next Wednesday & Thursday. It's a fantastic place to discuss technical advances in fume cupboards with stakeholders who are as passionate about safety and sustainability as we are. Join us on Stand D50, meet the team, check out our latest fume cupboards, and we'll plant your tree! #LabSafety #LabInnovations2024 #FumeCupboards #Sustainability #CFD #PlantATree
