The question was; can Hahn supply a biofilter floor that can perform at

◦35 C and 100% humidity in a chemical environment, with excellent airflow, and have the ability to drive vehicles over it? d

The floor was to be loaded with a 2metre deep biofilter medium and was not allowed to warp, bend or collapse in the extremely harsh conditions.

®The solution was the hanit Biofilter Raised Flooring System. This system allowed all of the conditions to be met on a floor raised 35cm from the base of the building. The first

floor was constructed in 2013 followed by another 5 floors throughout 2014 and early 2015. Global Renewable Operations Ltd were able to complete their replacements and return to full

operation extremely quickly thanks to the ease and simplicity of installation.

The Biofilter Raised Flooring System is fast and economical

to install, which is one of the many benefits contributing to the decision

®to use hanit . After the installation it is immediately capable of bearing loads and can also be driven on.

KEY FACTS

“The Hahn Biofilter Raised Flooring System has been a great success. The product is ideal for the application and it was great to find a product that worked so well in a particularly harsh environment. The fact that these products are made from 100% recycled material is an added bonus. For a waste and recycling plant to use recycled waste in a construction application is a fantastic example of why the Global Renewable Operations Ltd and Hahn facilities are leading in their respective innovative markets.”

Paul Brindle (Head of Asset Reliability and Maintenance) Global Renewable Operations Ltd

For over 20 years the Hahn Group has been the European leader in the production of recycled plastic products. Hahn Plastics Ltd are part of the Hahn Group. On an area of about 4,000m² we manufacture and market over 1,500 products

®under the hanit trademark. Using state-of-the art technology and moulding tools, along with our technical expertise, we develop high quality, innovative products from recycled plastic.

®Part of our hanit industrial

range, Hahn Plastics Ltd’s Biofilter Raised Flooring System was the perfect solution for Global Renewable Operations Ltd. The longitudinal and transverse ribs of the system have identical dimensions and can thus carry loads in both directions. Due to the described product advantages and material

® properties, the hanit Biofilter Raised Flooring System is ideally suited as ventilation floor or airflow surface in biofilter facilities, which in turn are employed for deodorisation in

numerous branches (waste processing, sewage treatment plants, compost works, chemical and food industry etc.). Our system offers the optimum

®solution since hanit products are resistant to oils, alkalis, acids and micro-organisms. This is especially important in areas where corrosion is a problem such as Global Renewable Operations Ltd.
