Engineering & System Design for Thermal Systems
Concept design, FEED-level studies, and detailed engineering for district heating, CHP, industrial thermal systems, and energy recovery. From input data and modelling to solution proposal and implementation support.
Engineering scope
We work as your external engineering team or supplement your in-house resources. Engagement depth scales from concept assessment to full detailed engineering.
| Scope level | What you get |
|---|---|
| Concept design | System-level assessment, feasibility, option analysis, high-level sizing. Enough to define the project direction and budget envelope. |
| FEED-level studies | Front-End Engineering Design. Hydraulic calculations, equipment pre-selection, P&ID development, control philosophy. Basis for procurement. |
| Detailed engineering | Final equipment specification, detailed schematics, integration drawings, commissioning protocols. Ready for construction and installation. |
What we deliver
Every engagement produces structured, documented deliverables. Below are the standard outputs — actual scope depends on the project phase and requirements.
P&ID diagrams
System layout, equipment connections, control elements, instrumentation points.
Hydraulic schematics
Flow rates, pressure drops, pump operating points, valve characteristics.
Calculation reports
Heat loads, LMTD analysis, pipe sizing, expansion vessel sizing — documented and traceable.
Equipment specifications
Technical requirements, materials, standards compliance, selection criteria for procurement.
Integration concepts
How new equipment connects to existing infrastructure — district heating, CHP, or industrial process.
Commissioning protocols
Test procedures, acceptance criteria, parameter adjustment guidelines.
Our process
| Phase | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Input data | You provide project context, existing documentation, design conditions, and constraints. We identify gaps and request missing data. |
| 2. Modelling | Thermal and hydraulic calculations, system modelling, option analysis. We quantify performance before recommending solutions. |
| 3. Solution proposal | Documented recommendation with calculations, schematics, equipment specifications, and cost indication. |
| 4. Implementation support | Procurement support, contractor coordination, commissioning oversight. We stay involved through delivery. |
Industries we support
District heating & utilities
Substation design, network hydraulics, heat source integration, consumer-side optimization.
CHP & energy plants
Thermal integration of CHP output, exhaust heat recovery, condensate systems, buffer storage.
Industrial process
Process heat and cooling, waste heat recovery, thermal storage, glycol circuit engineering.
Commercial & public
Central plant engineering, heat pump integration, energy center specification, renovation scope.
How we engage
| Model | Best for |
|---|---|
| Project-based | Defined scope — system design, energy audit, technical review. Fixed fee based on deliverables. |
| Retained support | Ongoing engineering needs. Monthly retainer with agreed hours and priority response. |
| Supply + Engineering | Combined engagement. We design the system and supply the equipment. Single point of responsibility. |
