Saying goodbye to dust

Published:  06 September, 2017

The Natural History Museum has not only been updating the main hall with the replacement to the 112 year old exhibit Dippy, but also the maintenance workshops have had a full upgrade with new dust extraction and centralised ducting systems.

The iconic exhibit Dippy, is being replaced by an 83ft whale skeleton, which will serve as a reminder of our responsibility to the planet. As part of a 10-year modernisation programme, FERCELL says it was delighted to carry out modifications to the NHM’s existing dust extraction system.

The current dust extraction/collection unit and centralised ducting system firstly needed to be dismantled and carefully removed from the site.

Two newly supplied dust extractors were installed, one servicing the left hand side and the other servicing the right hand side. The right hand unit is equipped with a diverter valve so that either the down-draft suction table or the other machine tools are serviced at any one time.

  • Which assessment is the right one? 

    GRUNDFOS OPTIMISATION SERVICES asks “which assessment is right for you?” and continues: Pumps are at the heart of your facilities. Day in and day out, pumps make your business run, but they come at a price. Not so much to purchase, but in the daily operation of the pump. In fact, 85% of the total costs of your pumps relate to the energy used to run the pumps - and there is money to be saved. An Energy Check of your pumps can provide a solid foundation for saving 30-50% on the operational costs of your pumps. Any installation with old, over-sized, inefficient or unsuitable pumps is likely to hide this kind of savings – and the Energy Check helps you discover the potential. Grundfos offers a number of different energy efficiency assessments: Energy Check, Energy Check Advanced, Pump Audit and Thermo Dynamic Testing.
