For purposes of maintaining equipment in enclosures which generate noxious fumes, such as in connection with the handling of sewage in a lift station, there must be adequate venting means to permit entry of workmen into the enclosure without the need of gas masks. In the present integrated system, auxiliary vent capacity is provided through the use of extra fan means and at least one bed of fume absorbent material. This auxiliary fume removal, which can be switched into and out of operation, together with a catalytic or thermal fume treating section, will provide for an arrangement where the absorbent material can be used during temporary periods of venting and then subjected to a reverse out-to-in flow so that desorbed fumes will be treated in the fume incinerator section so that the absorbent material becomes regenerated for reuse at a subsequent time period.

A fume elimination and venting system for enclosures generating burnable and absorbable noxious fumes which will provide for additional venting for controlled periods of time, which comprises in combination: a. at least one blower operated first venting means from the fume generating enclosure connecting with a fume incinerating means to provide for the withdrawal and passage of vented fumes into contact with fume oxidizing means and the subsequent discharge of treated fumes and gases from the system, b. additional vent means from said enclosure in interconnection with at least one fume absorption section containing a gas pervious absorptive media and opening to external ambient air, c. auxiliary blower means in interconnection with said additional vent means and the absorption section providing for powered operated fume flow outwardly through the absorptive media and the resulting maintenance of a low level of residual noxious fumes within said enclosure for controlled periods of time, and d. switch control means to cut on and off the auxiliary blower means for said additional vent means and for effecting the stoppage of the outward flow through the absorptive media and the auxiliary blower means whereby with a continuing venting through said first venting means and fume oxidizing means there is an inward flow of ambient air and a resulting desorption of fumes from the absorptive media.
