Working alongside your team

We collaborate with customers to improve operation or to solve process and mechanical operating problems.

Many of our clients have benefitted from plant process reviews, resulting in solutions to the problems listed below.

We provide solutions to heat transfer problems


CO2 operational reduction plans


Existing plant process temperature range extensions


Renewable energy use strategies


Slow heating rates


Conversions from HP mixed vapour services to LP single thermal fluid services


Slow cooling and chilling rates


Heating and cooling demand capacity constraints


Energy management and efficiency


Process temperature control accuracy


Thermal fluid operating and control problems


Thermal fluid selection and application

Design services

Full heating and cooling system designs for new installations or for the extension of existing operating plant.

Our services are always tailored to the client's specific needs and the stage of development within the particular project.


1

Assess

Detailed assessments of heat demands, their scheduling requirements, the transfer rates achievable, plant utilisation and overall plant energy design requirements.

2

Agree the design

We work through the design with you until you are happy with it.

3

Manufacture and select components

Only then do we undertake the manufacture and selection of components for the mechanical and electrical design elements of the system.

Process optimisation

We help you maximise the capability of an existing production plant, whether the goal is environmental, the cost of energy per unit of output, or increased capacity.

These are evaluated through detailed energy management surveys of process demands, especially within batch and thermally cyclic processes. Changes are always client specific and wide ranging, from improved heat transfer fluid selection to reducing restrictions and service limitations, and everything in between.
