Design & Engineering

Mechanical Design

Our mechanical design team supports the development of reliable and efficient boiler systems by providing detailed engineering for pressure parts, support structures and integration into wider systems. Using advanced 3D CAD and FEA tools, we ensure all components are structurally sound, thermally efficient, and compliant with industry standards.

We focus on:

– Stress & thermal analysis
– 3D modelling for manufacturing and installation
– Design modifications for systems upgrades or retrofits
– Pressure part layout and detailing (economisers, superheaters, etc.)

Mechanical design is fully integrated with our thermal and process engineering to deliver complete, fit-for-purpose solutions.

Thermal Design

Our thermal design team ensures every boiler system is optimised for heat transfer, fuel efficiency, and operational performance.

Using industry-recognised modelling tools, we design systems that meet specific steam output, temperature, and emissions requirements.

Key capabilities include:

– Heat balance & performance calculations
– Flue gas & steam temperature profiling
– Design for varying fuels & load conditions
– Optimisation of heat recovery surfaces

Optimisation

We work with clients to improve the performance, efficiency, and longevity of existing boiler systems through targeted design and engineering optimisation.

Whether it’s enhancing heat recovery, reducing emissions, or improving part-load performance, our team applies a data-driven approach backed by decades of operational experience.

Our optimisation services include:

– Material and component upgrades
– Performance assessments and diagnostics
– Retrofit design for improved efficiency and compliance
– Operating condition analysis and tuning recommendations

Design Codes & Standards

Equipment is engineered to comply with a range of design codes, including:

ASME I – ASME VIII – EN1090 – EN12952 – EN12953 – EN13445 – EN13480 – PD5500 – TEMA

Designs can also adhere to other internationally recognised standards as needed.

All pressure parts undergo inspection in accordance with applicable pressure vessel regulations, with UKCA/CE marking or ASME S/U stamping applied where required.
