Operational and Emergency Ventilation – Tate & Lyle, Boleráz

For Tate & Lyle, we designed and implemented a comprehensive operational and emergency ventilation system for the starch drying and dewatering production areas at the Boleráz plant.

In the dryer burner rooms, we ensure triple air exchange at a capacity of 800 m³/h. The emergency mode operates at 2,840 m³/h, meeting strict safety requirements.

The technological floors (+0.000 to +16.000) are ventilated by fans with capacities up to 15,000 m³/h, tailored to the specific needs of the production process.

In the transformer stations and high-voltage switchgear rooms, we achieve up to 20 air changes per hour. The control system monitors room temperature and activates ventilation automatically.

The compressor room is ventilated by a dedicated unit with a capacity of 3,500 m³/h. Heated air is directed through thermally insulated ducting above the building roof.

Areas with increased explosion risk (H₂O₂ and baghouse) are protected by plastic EX fans with capacities of 900 m³/h and 1,000 m³/h. The solution complies with the requirements for explosive atmospheres.

The protected escape route is supported by forced ventilation at 7,600 m³/h. The system is integrated with the fire alarm system (EPS) and automatically opens dampers in case of fire.

The administrative areas are served by a separate air handling unit with heat recovery, providing 2,800 m³/h for both supply and exhaust. This solution enhances comfort and energy efficiency.

This project demonstrates our ability to design reliable and safe solutions for technologically demanding industrial operations.
