spray booths

[russd7]

right, a little history.
a large part of my job is spray coating and unfortunately a large portion of the spray coatings i use are urethanes (through necessity for quality of coat required), any one that deals with this shit knows they stink,

our booth has particulate filters but that is all and we have a neighbour that if he gets a slightest whiff will complain, (he has been banned from ringing the council anymore) but we still don't want to upset him.

I have looked in to air scrubbers and am confused as hell.

my Question is what do other people with spray booths use to eliminate the smell.

HEPA and charcoal on your growroo// spraybooth exhaust...

Try dilution first. Add an additional forced supply of clean air volume to your booths filter exit. Simple dilution.
Or move your exit as high as you possibly can (I mean high) to make use of breeze and convection currents and the venturi effect, to create a draw like a chimney does with a high exit and a natural venturi it will also diffuse the odour in a low cost manner. If its still an issue combine the both together.
It works much like a cupola on a roof attic.

Buy the moaning chaps property and expand yours

Pilot flame on the chimney vent *sniggers and runs*

Assume you are in industrial area and doing an activity that was already permitted and under exiosting resource consent? then stuff him.
Tell him he could pay for taller chimney/air vent etc.....

Youv'e seen mine, I just open the shed door, fuck the Yamaha riders.

There must be a re-circulating system with carbon filtering that keeps the fumes inside rather than expel them. What do other pro painters use in the big smokes?

Filters seem to be your cheapest option.

Was gonna suggest a waterfall but that will cost a bit.


Either that or start shoving arsenic up the exhaust to bump off the whinging cunt. Some greenatic will probably complain about the wilting daisies or something though.

Dirty whinging c**t, a disruptive chain smoker trying to find a blame for emphasemia on a local business trying to go ahead that has to follow the rules and be very diplomatic (sorry I know the cock!). If it was me i'd burn an Elmo on his doorstep...but it's not.
Hope you find a way russd without breaking the bank.

at this stage we don't have to have a resource consent but everything is legal, problem is it is an election year and as this particular gent has had no luck with the councils then he is just as likely to try complaining to the local MP and being an election year then they are just as likely to pick it up for publicity and blow it out of proportion to gain favour.
we don't want to be forced to have to get resource consent and the associated cost and headaches
to give an idea, we also run laser cutting machines and sometimes cut or raster MDF,but more often than not it is solid timber, he complains about the smoke from the laser machines claiming that he can smell the formaldahyde in it, the smoke from the coal he burns has more toxins in it.

but MP's love having a whinging old prick that they can put up as their poster boy, facts mean nothing to them or the media if they think they can force a good story out of it.
