IRD is critical to your business because it helps to improve the quality of your products and services. It can also help to increase the efficiency of your industrial processes.
Last but not least, IRD can lead to creating new and innovative products and services for your business as it involves production research and development, process research and development, as well as manufacturing research and development.
Design of Experiments
We use the DOE technique to carry out new product development. This reduces costly trials and minimises risk when going to full production. Knowledge is developed along the way which is essential IP.
Thermal Performance
Our advanced thermal design solutions allow us to create research and development prototypes that are focused on improving thermal performance and efficiency.
3. Industrial Process Optimisation
EnerTherm Engineering uses industrial process optimisation (IPO) to improve the performance of industrial operations in factories. Achieving IPO can be a complex and time-consuming process, but that's why our experienced engineers are here to help. Fortunately, EnerTherm engineering has adopted many process optimisation methods and tools to help factories achieve better results. Some of the most commonly used methods by our engineers include process mapping, flow analysis, lean manufacturing, and Six Sigma.
Equipment Optimisation
Our team uses the latest in equipment sizing and design technology to ensure that our products are tailored to customer specifications and within budget. We also work with installed equipment that does not meet design specifications, and this often requires troubleshooting through measurement and design calculations. Moreover, we also have the ability to work with new process factory equipment.
Production Optimisation
Production optimisation comprises a range of activities related to measuring, analysing, modelling, prioritizing, and implementing action to enhance productivity.
4. Engineering Design
Industrial engineering professionals need to be familiar with a variety of industrial process equipment and tools in order to improve the efficiency and productivity of our clients.
Process design - involves us creating a plan for how a specific industrial process should be carried out.
Equipment design - involves our engineers selecting the most effective and efficient pieces of equipment for your industry's particular processes.
System analysis - the process we use to identify and correct deficiencies in the overall system.
Optimisation - the ongoing process used to find ways to improve efficiency and productivity within an industrial process or system.
Heat and Mass Balance - PFD
We provide heat and mass balance information to our customers to help with the design of process plants.
Design Of Process Equipment
We calculate, size and design process equipment in various industries.
Thermal Design
Our engineers can design and solve new or existing complex heat transfer multi-physics problems.
CAE Simulation
Design and problem-solving using Computer Aided Engineering such as Fluid Flow, Heat Transfer, thermal-mechanical, particle and combustion simulation.
5. Audit and Data Analysis
Our engineers will gather data from the site or use your provided data. Then we can carry out an in-depth data analysis to understand the interaction between site process variables and their effects (knowledge building).
Then we will follow up with a complete or part of a process model to carry out a what-if-analysis in order to reduce costly trials and focus on improving plant reliability, improving product quality and reducing energy usage.
Energy Audit
Identifying sources of inefficiency within factories with the aim to propose solutions to reduce energy usage.
Process Evaluation
Capturing data from a factory or R&D test facility to generate a better understanding of process variables in order to check how machine performance compares to KPIs and design specifications.
Feasibility Studies
In order to improve the technical feasibility of design changes, it is important to consider both the capital and operating costs involved. By balancing these two factors, one can find an optimum return on investment (ROI).
Process Modelling i-Log
A model is used to simulate the steady state and transient multi-physics processes and variables such as temperature, pressure, flow, heat, concentrations etc. This is done in order to design, size and optimise process plant and equipment.
6. Project Management
EnerTherm Engineering specializes in providing project management services to companies that need help with existing processes or skillsets that are not currently present within the company. This can include the industrial design or leading a completely bespoke research-based project.
Our team has successfully designed and launched several new products across multiple industries. We believe in providing our clients with the best possible service and have a proven track record of doing so.
If you are looking for someone to help get your project off the ground, then please do not hesitate to contact us. We would be more than happy to offer our services and help you reach your goals.

Our Products
1. i-Log
Versatile all-in-one portable data logging and reporting system with several package options tailored to your specific site data end requirement.
2. Industrial Data System
Applications capable of running on the web browser of any device allowing you to monitor and record your factory process data.
3. Thermal Insulation Calculation Software
In the design of thermal processes, multi-layer insulation systems are key to reducing thermal losses, and thickness plays an important role in the success or failure of an insulation system. In order to determine the optimum thickness for a thermal insulation system, it is important to have accurate information on the heat loss and thermal conductivity of various materials.
Enertherm Engineering thermal insulation calculation software is customizable and allows for a wide variety of different combinations of variables (such as wind speed emissivity, shapes, and material selection). This software makes it easy to develop accurate estimates for the thickness of thermal insulation systems.
However, without the right tool, establishing insulation thickness for a particular application can prove to be a challenge. This task is time-consuming and its results are limiting the choice of possible options.
4. Industrial Incinerators
At EnerTherm Engineering we work closely with market leaders and offer industrial incinerator designs, and are involved in all aspects up to installation.
Our designs are specifically tailored for your company’s needs thus bringing the best possible results in efficiency and energy savings. We also help to optimise incinerators and incineration processes to ensure equipment emissions are strictly compliant with the WID directive.

5. Industrial Dehydrators
At EnerTherm Engineering we design bespoke industrial dehydrators, which can be used to control the processing conditions to ensure consistent product quality.
Whatever product you wish to dry, we can provide a food drying machine solution to match your exact requirements.
This is how we do it:
Gather and measure your data
Simulating your data in Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) application
Then using simulated data we create an optimised design
Once the design will be finalised, we will invite you to carry out a ‘Virtual’ Factory Acceptance Test (‘V’FAT).
Utilising virtual reality you will have a full tour in and around the CAD drawing of the newly designed Dehydrator installation. During this, you can highlight any adjustments or changes you want to see done before installation begins.
Just by doing this, we can avoid unnecessary expenses and adjustments after installation.
5. Indirect Heat Exchangers
An indirect heat exchanger prevents the product to come into contact with air, gas, or any other heating agent to change the final temperature. Instead, they do so through conduction, radiation, or convection.
This type of heat technology is the most efficient and cost-effective and comes with numerous benefits:
Increased energy efficiency
Environmentally friendly
Smaller installation footprint
Easy capacity increase
Here at EnerTherm Engineering, we design heat exchangers from the first principles. We begin with theoretical calculations to establish the heat duty, geometry, and tube requirement.
The design of our product follows BS and ASME standards. All our indirect heat exchangers are tested using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reduce the risk of failure from potential fouling and thermal stress risks.
This allows us to predict how the products would react in real-life scenarios, to ensure optimum performance, longevity, and client satisfaction.
