Cocoa Roasting Hauswirth
Noise and Air
By order of the company Hauswirth FCP performed a sonic study and a study on the odour immissions.
The company Hauswirth is planning the operation of a cocoa roasting plant in Kittsee. The cocoa roasting plant is a unique facility in Austria in this form, which was designed by the company Hauswirth.
In a test run the acoustic emissions and odorous substances were recorded and subsequently analysed by measurement engineers of FCP.

Kittsee, Burgenland, Austria

Competence Centre
The odorous substances released during cocoa roasting were examined and an atmospheric dispersion simulation based on the latter was performed to determine the impacts of the odours created in the neighbourhood. The acoustic emissions measured are entered into a dispersion calculation program and the predicted immissions are compared with an ambient noise measurement without operation of the plant.
The documents created are submitted to the plant authority and subsequently assessed.
On the basis of the measurements propagation simulations for sound and odorous substances were carried out and optimizations of the plant were developed.
