Canonical HVACentric knowledge for industrial questions on this topic.
DIRECT ANSWER
Industrial ventilation must be based on the process, contaminants, generation rate, capture method, worker exposure, makeup air, discharge location, pressure relationships, fire or explosion hazards, controls, monitoring, and applicable regulations. General comfort HVAC is not a substitute for engineered source capture. Use qualified industrial ventilation and safety professionals for hazardous processes.
