Carbon Filtration: The use of carbon media derived from granulated coal carbon or coconut shell carbon to chemically adsorb vaporous/gaseous contaminants
Why Carbon? Why coconut shell carbon media?Adsorption

Paramount® Ductless Enclosures
Paramount® Ductless Enclosures
Self‐contained work stations that use carbon filters to protect operator from harmful vapors
Require no ductwork and can be moved from lab to lab
Utilize energy‐efficient motors (ECM)
Patented containment features
Stackable filters for multiple chemical applications
Digital control center with vapor sensor and airflow monitor
Energy efficient ECM motor uses less energy, runs cooler and quieter.
Patented containment enhancing design features ensure operator protection from fumes, vapors, gases and particles.
LCD display with digital control center, Safety‐First™Vapor Sensor and Smart‐Flow™ Airflow Monitor to monitor filter breakthrough and air speed to maintain user safety at all times.

Patented rear baffle
Ergonomic angled sash and patented sloped front
Upper Dilution Air Supply sweeps clean air to back of the sash
Smart-Flow System adjusts motor speed automatically—maintains constant airflow at calibrated value
Accommodate seven filter types to cover a wide variety of needs
Upper Containment Sash Foil directs contaminants away from user’s breathing zone
Patented Clean-Sweep™ Air Foil
Side-entry air foils
Optional clear safety glass baffle provides 360º visibility
Safety-First™ Vapor Sensor
Filter efficiency performance independently verified by University of Kansas
Seven different stackable filters can be combined to handle different chemicals at the same time.
Solid and durable construction.
Available in multiple widths, depths and heights.

Energy SavingsRecirculation of filtered, tempered air eliminates energy waste associated with traditional, ducted fume hoods.
The ECM motor and light fixture in a 3′ Paramount unit use only 65 watts — about as much energy as one 60 watt light bulb!
(Previous 3’ model used 330 watts)
Reduced Heat Load3’ unit heat load of 222 BTU/hr
Previous 3’ model heat load of 1126 BTU/hr
Noise Reduction3’ ranges 46‐62dbA vs. previous model 65dbA
6’ ranges 57‐66dbA vs. previous model 68dbA
Paramount® Ductless Enclosures
Patented slotted rear baffle promotes horizontal laminar flow reducing
turbulence
Upper Containment Sash Foil directs contaminants away from the
operator’s breathing zone
Paramount® Ductless Enclosures
Containment enhancing features
Side Entry Air Foils promote horizontal flow and direct airflow into the
enclosure work area
Aerodynamic airfoil with Clean‐Sweep™
openings directs air into the enclosure and across the work surface

Safety-First™ Vapor Sensor
Detects chemical breakthrough and filter saturation
Visible/Audible alarms are displayed on LCD display
Vapor sensor optimal detection concentration 1‐10ppm vs. current sensor calibrated at 50ppm.
Two sensors allow safety backup monitoring of breakthrough.
Accurate detection of breakthrough maintains operator safety.
Early alert detects initial breakthrough and provides warning message to user that approximately 5‐10% filter life remains.
