    I am working in small water treatment plant. I used NaCl (10%)and HCL (33%) to regenerate the resin that we used in our plant.

    During the regeneration, the acidic fume from HCL 33% canister and moisture of NaCl from brine tank (we gargle the brine so that the salt will dissolve in water) escape freely causing the surrounding steel equipment to rust badly.

    Therefore, I would like to design a room with exhaust fan that can contain acidic fume and brine moisture from being spread. The dimension of the room will be 2.5 meter length x 1.2 meter side x 2.15 meter height.

    What is the suitable rate of cfm to be used for my exhaust fan? Any fundamentals stuff should i know? Any suggestion on the ducting as the air being moved out is acidic and contains high humidity>

    Hope info from you guys.

    Thank you
