Thermal process systems
Heat, steam and cooling processes are often major energy consumers. Encon helps companies to analyse, design and optimise thermal systems, with a focus on lower energy costs, greater reliability and sustainable, economically viable solutions.
Discover our solutions
Sustainable heating
Making industrial heating more sustainable requires the right technology in the right place. Encon provides support in the evaluation and implementation of solutions such as heat pumps, waste heat recovery and hybrid systems.
We analyse heat demand, temperature levels and energy flows, and translate these into a future-proof heating concept with lower energy costs and reduced CO₂ emissions.
Sustainable steam
Steam remains an indispensable energy source for many industrial processes. However, there are often opportunities to make steam systems more efficient and sustainable.
Encon helps to optimise steam generation, distribution and condensate recovery. We also explore ways to minimise energy losses and replace fossil fuels.
Sustainable cooling
Cooling processes often have a significant impact on energy consumption. That is why we are looking at how cooling systems can be used more efficiently and prepared for future regulations.
We provide advice on natural refrigerants, heat recovery, optimal temperature regimes and high-performance control strategies.
Sustainability Assessment
Would you like to know where the greatest opportunities for sustainability lie within your thermal processes? With a sustainability assessment, we analyse your current situation and identify specific areas for improvement.
You will receive a clear roadmap setting out quick wins, investment priorities, funding opportunities and potential savings.
Our approach
Concept analysis
A successful project starts with the right choices. We analyse your energy flows, processes and installations, and compare different technical scenarios in terms of feasibility, energy performance and costs.
Engineering & procurement
Once the concept has been selected, we develop the technical details of the project. We provide support with sizing, specifications, supplier selection and tender evaluation, ensuring you invest in the most suitable solution.
Project management & site supervision
We remain involved throughout the implementation phase. We monitor the schedule, quality and performance, and ensure that the installation is completed in line with the set objectives.
Discover our high-impact case studies
A holistic approach to sustainability. By combining sustainability with financial and technical expertise, our experts identify opportunities that make a real difference. We do this by creating financially sound, high-impact projects – enabling clients to generate profit whilst simultaneously building a more sustainable business.
