I am having a look at a friends work place ventilation to see if i can make a reccomendation as to adjust it. They're Paint booth vents the fumes currently. But the neighbors are complaining about paint fumes.
I have a mechanical back ground so I told him I would model it and see if i could make a suggestion for better expelsion of the fumes.
They were told to add a nozzle to the current stack and that would take care of the problem, but so far has not. My question is the average paint fume heavier then air? What would the best way to "treat" the fume so that it is not dangerous anymore? Can you filter it easily and economically?
I saw articles about some companies capturing the fumes to burn as fuel, but that is a solution more suited to a large company and this is a very small one.
Thanks.
