Creating a Safe Warehouse Environment: Eliminating Harmful Gases with ASPRA L-C
Protecting Workers from Airborne Contaminants in Logistics Warehouses
A logistics company faced significant air quality challenges due to harmful gases and particulate matter emitted from medical equipment stored in their 3,600 m² warehouse. These emissions posed serious health risks, including exposure to carcinogenic compounds, necessitating a safe and controlled working environment.
To address these risks, ASPRA L-C air purifiers were installed at key locations such as storage areas, loading docks, and processing zones, effectively filtering volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM). Additionally, ventilation systems were implemented to maintain under-pressure, preventing contaminant spread throughout the facility. The solution ensured compliance with occupational safety standards while enhancing sustainability by capturing pollutants instead of discharging them into the environment.
About the Project
A logistics client storing medical equipment in their 3,600 m² warehouse encountered significant air contamination issues. During transportation, storage, and processing, these goods emit harmful gases, including carcinogenic compounds, creating serious health risks for employees. Research confirms that prolonged exposure to these gases can increase cancer risks, highlighting the need for effective air purification and contaminant control.
To ensure worker safety, VFA Solutions installed ASPRA L-C air purifiers in critical warehouse locations, including loading docks, storage areas, and processing zones. These purifiers were optimized to filter volatile gases commonly used in medical goods disinfection, while a ventilation system was implemented to maintain under-pressure, preventing contaminants from spreading to other parts of the facility. This holistic approach provided a clean, compliant, and sustainable indoor air environment.

Detailed Approach
Problem Description
A logistics warehouse storing medical equipment encountered serious air quality concerns due to gases released during transport, storage, and processing. These gases, including carcinogenic volatile compounds, posed a severe risk to worker health. Without proper containment, these contaminants could spread throughout the facility, affecting other operations.
To protect employees, the client sought a comprehensive solution that would purify indoor air, maintain safe exposure levels, and prevent pollutants from dispersing beyond the warehouse.
The Solution
To combat hazardous air conditions, ASPRA L-C air purifiers were strategically installed in critical warehouse zones, including loading docks, VAL/VAS areas, and storage facilities. These purifiers were optimized to filter volatile gases and fine particulates, ensuring that harmful emissions were safely captured and contained.
In addition, a ventilation system was implemented to create under-pressure inside the warehouse. This measure prevented air contaminants from spreading into other parts of the facility, safeguarding both employees and facility operations.
The Result
The implementation of ASPRA air purification technology successfully eliminated harmful airborne pollutants, resulting in a safe and clean work environment. On-site measurements verified the rapid removal of VOCs and PM, ensuring that indoor air quality remained within occupational safety standards at all times.
Because the ASPRA system captures pollutants rather than discharging them outdoors, this approach is categorized as highly sustainable. By improving air quality, preventing pollutant spread, and ensuring regulatory compliance, the solution not only protected workers but also contributed to a healthier environmental footprint.
