The R and D laboratory within Firmenich food manufacturing plant required a tasting room to negate the site contaminates, odours and airborne impurities to enable staff to be uninfluenced whilst tasting/developing products.
Project Brief
Ambient was tasked to design a HVAC system that provides adequate filtration levels to negate the influence of multiple airborne contamination from the surrounding food productions areas.
Solution
Ambient provided an HVAC system to supply finely filtered (decontaminated) air to and from the tasting room.
(Employing active carbon technology that does not rely on the standard contact time) the system provided positive pressurisation to the room (to avoid infiltration of contaminants) whilst providing air change, climate control and heat recovery to reduce energy in line with Firmenich energy / ROI policy.
The system met all performance standards and to date, 3 years later, no replacement carbon filter has been required.
Scope
Contaminated testing/evaluation Construction Design Management Design basis Design/drawing development Mechanical and Electrical Specification Installation Commissioning System contaminant verification After sales support
Client comment
“The installations works very well, we are really happy with the work undertaken”
