Environmental Laboratory Design

An environmental laboratory plays a vital role in analyzing the quality of air, water, soil, and waste, supporting environmental monitoring and conservation efforts. The design of this type of laboratory must accommodate a wide range of analytical and microbiological methods while ensuring workplace safety and regulatory compliance.

🔬 Key Components in Environmental Laboratory Design:

🌍 Multi-Functional Spaces for Diverse Parameter Testing

• Divided into dedicated work areas: chemical analysis (inorganic and organic), microbiology, sample preparation, and instrument rooms (GC, AAS, UV-Vis, TOC, etc.).
• The layout is designed to separate clean and contaminated sample workflows to prevent cross-contamination.

🌬 Ventilation and Odor Control Systems

• Exhaust systems and fume hoods are engineered to handle hazardous chemical vapors, including H₂S, NH₃, and organic solvents.
• Biosafety cabinets can be added in microbiology rooms for testing pathogenic microorganisms from wastewater or water samples.

⚙️ Stable and Corrosion-Resistant Utility Installations

• Integrated systems for RO/DI water, gas supply (N₂, CO₂-free air), and electrical lines with instrument panels and acid/alkali-resistant drainage systems.
• Work surfaces are resistant to aggressive chemicals and easy to clean (e.g., phenolic resin or laboratory-grade HPL).

🧯 Safety and Regulatory Compliance

• The facility is designed to comply with standards from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), ISO 14001, ISO/IEC 17025, and laboratory HSE guidelines.
• Equipped with gas leak detectors, emergency showers, fire extinguishers, and clearly marked evacuation routes.

📈 Support for Data Analysis and Reporting

• Includes a designated data processing and reporting area connected to a digital network/intranet for Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS).
• Designed to support internal and external audits, including accreditation for environmental laboratories.

With a quality- and sustainability-focused approach, we design environmental laboratories that not only deliver accurate and reproducible analysis results but also meet long-term operational needs in an efficient and eco-friendly manner.
