LNL - VACUUBRAND, INC. - JUNE 21, 2017 @ 12:00PM

Ayse Cooper with VACUUBRAND, INC. will be in the Midland office of PSC on June 21st to discuss modular solutions to laboratory vacuum systems. The presentation will start at 12:00PM. Lunch will be provided by VACUUBRAND, INC. so please be sure to RSVP, by either accepting the email invite or by emailing Shane Danley, no later than Friday, June 16th so that our provider can plan for lunch.

 

• Provider: VACUUBRAND, INC.
• Learning Units: 1 AIA/HSW credit  / 1HR CE LEED BD+C and O+M

VACUUBRAND’s lab vacuum networks provide a modular solution to laboratory vacuum which has provided a variety of benefits to facility owners, scientists, and the A/E/D community for the past 20 years.  For example:

 *   Facility owners have benefited from an economical and modular solution to lab vacuum.

 *   Scientists have benefited from deep, stable lab vacuum that is better-suited to their research objectives than outdated alternatives.

 *   The A/E/D community has benefited from an adaptable, sustainable approach to laboratory vacuum for renovations and new construction that leaves clients with a more functional facility.

The simple philosophy is to install the appropriate (flow and pressure), on-demand vacuum only where it is needed, therefore eliminating costly overbuilding, energy waste, and avoiding a central vacuum source with its many inherent problems (corrosion, leakage, instability, cross-contamination between inputs, biohazard exposure during maintenance). Finally a central vacuum system cannot meet the needs of chemistry researchers which requires them to purchase additional pumps.

During our hour-long session, we would like to review the benefits of this approach and speak with interested staff members about how this technology can be implemented on future laboratory projects. We will also address how these systems help to achieve sustainability objectives while providing an economical and reliable solution.
