University Vivarium Installs MeeFog Humidification & RO Water Treatment
LaboratoriesA Las Vegas University needed an energy-efficient way to add precisely controlled humidity to a Vivarium. In a vivarium (Latin for “place of life”) researchers are raising animals or plants for observation and research. The Las Vegas University installed a MeeFog system with fifteen stages that provide up to 245 lbs per hour of humidity. Purewater is fed into the fog system from a RO water treatment system.
