Chemical Lab Ventilation & Safety Upgrade | Norway Chemistry Institute Case Study
Case study of a chemistry research institute renovation: fume hoods, exhaust ducting, make-up air, safety showers/eyewash, and compliant chemical storage—engineered by MAX LAB.
Case Study: Norwegian Institute of Chemistry chemistry / Research Institute Laboratory Planning
Time：2017.4.21
Country：Norway
Background：
The Norwegian Institute of Chemistry, a leading facility in chemical and materials research, aimed to upgrade its laboratory infrastructure to support cutting-edge research in sustainable chemistry and advanced materials. The institute required a modern, flexible, and safety-compliant lab environment to accommodate a wide range of experiments, from hazardous chemical reactions to nanomaterial synthesis.
Our team at MAX LAB collaborated closely with the institute’s project managers and researchers to understand their specific needs. Through a series of consultation meetings and 3D virtual walkthroughs, we identified key requirements, including:
Chemical-resistant workstations for handling corrosive substances.
Specialized storage solutions for hazardous materials.
Ergonomic furniture to enhance researcher comfort during long hours of work.
Modular lab design to allow future reconfiguration as research needs evolve.
Challenges
Stringent Safety Standards: The lab needed to comply with EU chemical safety regulations (REACH and CLP) and OSHA standards.
Solution: We designed the anti-corrosion test bench and dedicated ventilation system, and installed the standard flammable storage cabinets and emergency safety equipment.
Complex Experimental Requirements: The research conducted at the institute spans various fields, including organic synthesis, nanomaterial preparation, and catalytic reactions, each requiring unique laboratory equipment and layout configurations.
Solution: We provided modular workbenches and reconfigurable workstations, allowing the laboratory to adapt flexibly to different experimental needs. Additionally, we customized chemical-resistant countertops, custom colored and dedicated equipment mounts for specific experimental areas.
If the laboratory equipment is placed after that
Space Constraints:The existing laboratory had limited space, requiring maximized utilization of the available area while ensuring efficient workflows.
Solution: Through 3D layout design, we optimized the laboratory's space efficiency by introducing multifunctional workbenches and vertical storage solutions, making full use of every inch of space.
Time Constraints：The project needed to be completed within a tight deadline to ensure the institute's research progress would not be affected.
Solution: Through efficient project management and parallel workflows, we ensured seamless coordination between design, manufacturing, and installation phases, ultimately delivering the project on time.
Sustainability Requirements:The institute required the laboratory design to align with sustainable development principles, reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.
Solution: We incorporated energy-efficient equipment (such as high-efficiency ventilation systems) and eco-friendly materials (such as recyclable steel and low-VOC coatings).
