Industries served
Pharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverage, general manufacturing, commercial and process industries. Each has its own operating conditions, and the equipment has to match them.
Pharmaceutical
Pharmaceutical production depends on air that is clean, stable and documented. Classified areas need filtration, pressure cascades between rooms, and temperature and humidity held within tight limits, while dust from granulation, milling and compression must be captured at source and contained.
- Cleanliness
- Staged and terminal HEPA filtration
- Pressure
- Room-to-room pressure cascades
- Humidity
- Low RH for hygroscopic products
- Dust
- Capture and containment at source
Relevant equipment
Chemical
Chemical plants reject large amounts of process heat and handle powders and fumes that can be corrosive or combustible. Equipment has to suit the chemistry, the temperature and the hazards of the site.
- Heat rejection
- Continuous process cooling loops
- Materials
- Selected for corrosive atmospheres
- Dust
- Combustible dust assessed per project
- Duty
- Continuous, high-availability operation
Relevant equipment
Food and beverage
Food and beverage plants need hygienic air handling, powder extraction for ingredients and packaging, process cooling for refrigeration and utilities, and humidity control for sugar, confectionery and dry ingredients.
- Hygiene
- Cleanable, corrosion-resistant construction
- Humidity
- Dry rooms for hygroscopic ingredients
- Cooling
- Condenser and process water
- Dust
- Ingredient and packaging extraction
Relevant equipment
General manufacturing
Manufacturing halls need ventilation and cooling that keep people productive and machines within temperature, with dust and fume captured from cutting, grinding and finishing operations.
- Ventilation
- Fresh air and heat removal
- Dust
- Extraction from machining and finishing
- Cooling
- Machine and process water cooling
- Serviceability
- Simple, local maintenance
Relevant equipment
Commercial
Commercial buildings need comfortable, efficient air: central air handling, zone-level fan coil units and condenser cooling for the chiller plant.
- Comfort
- Zone-level temperature control
- Air quality
- Filtered fresh air
- Energy
- Efficient fans and coils
- Acoustics
- Quiet operation in occupied spaces
Relevant equipment
Process industries
Plastics, textiles, paper, cement, batteries and other process industries combine heavy cooling loads with dust and, increasingly, strict humidity requirements.
- Cooling
- Large process heat loads
- Dust
- High-loading extraction
- Humidity
- Low dew points for sensitive processes
- Customisation
- Equipment built around the process
