Case Study

Kerry Ingredients displacement ventilation

Overview

Client: Kerry

Industry: Food

Project Overview: Energy efficient solution value engineered as part of Kerry’s factory refurbishment

Outcomes

  • Quick return on investment for our client
  • Cost effective value engineering
  • An energy efficient solution
  • Surpassed client’s high standards
  • Delivered on time and budget

Challenges

When food ingredient manufacturer Kerry Foods were undertaking a factory refurbishment, they chose us to design and install their new ventilation system.

The system was to be value engineered to a challenging budget but also needed to meet the client’s exacting standards.

Solutions

Penmann’s in-house design team developed an energy efficient solution, working on the principle of displacement air distribution.

The system was also designed to maintain a pressure cascade through the factory. Differential air pressure was monitored across production boundaries and controlled via inverter drives on fan motors.

Conclusion

Penmann successfully designed and installed an energy-efficient displacement ventilation system for Kerry Ingredients as part of their factory refurbishment. This solution, value-engineered to meet a challenging budget, provided a quick return on investment and surpassed the client’s high standards. Delivered on time and within budget, the system maintained a pressure cascade through the factory, with differential air pressure monitored and controlled via inverter drives on fan motors. The project exemplifies Penmann’s commitment to cost-effective, high-quality engineering solutions that meet stringent client requirements.
