Specialist Fume Control Solutions Keep Workers Safe During Vessel Refurbishment Project

Case Study Overview

Workers being exposed to burning fumes from welding, gouging and cutting in a confined space during a vessel refurbishment project.

Challenge

In the world of Marine Vessels refurbishments one of the greatest challenges is the tight spaces and also confined work areas. When hot works are required to be carried out the fumes produced need to be controlled and extracted, due to workers being exposed to dangerous fume levels. If not controlled, this can cause respiratory irritation and long-term health issues such as asthma, COPD, and even cancer.

Solution

RVT installed the Ravex Burning Fume Filtration Kit to tackle these hazards head-on! The fumes were forced through a Wandafilta Plus unit, which includes HEPA filtration to effectively eliminate harmful particles from the air. Additionally, the heavy-duty steel fan ensures safety while handling hot and abrasive materials.
