System Design and Engineering

Our in-house design department works closely with clients which, when combined with our extensive experience in design of specialist equipment for the energy industries, allows us to fully understand both stated and unmet needs.

The tailored nature of our engineering operations allows us to work to a detailed functional design specification or where required, to provide a detailed specification on behalf of the client. Project planning is documented and tracked via standardised project planning software.  This enables EnerMech's hydraulic services team to integrate seamlessly into a clients overall schedule. Dedicated project management ensures schedules are maintained and provides a single point of contact for the customer.

EnerMech has extensive experience in specialist standards that apply to the offshore and energy industries, including ATEX, Lloyds and DNV.  We can provide full design, liaison and certification services where a third party input is required or integrate with a client’s existing third party arrangement.

Manufacture and Testing

EnerMech’s product distributorships provide the majority of component needs and with our network of approved suppliers, we can supply a complete range of hydraulic components from all major hydraulic manufacturers to create a complete hydraulic system.

Inhouse manufacturing is carried out by highly skilled technicians, working closely with engineers based at the same location.  With purpose built facilities and experience specific to hydraulic component manufacture, component integrity is maintained through the use of dedicated product assembly areas and clean rooms.

Purpose built pressure testing and flushing equipment located onsite allows for system integrity to be assured prior to dispatch and commissioning.  All equipment is tested prior to dispatch with test procedures either defined by the client or prepared by EnerMech engineers.

Chemical Cleaning Services

There are a number of pitfalls that can arise when carrying out chemical cleaning operations on systems pipework, from the selection of the appropriate chemicals, to the hazard levels and the amount of waste disposal.

In a conventional chemical cleaning operation it is required to utilize strong acids such as Hydrochloric Acid and Phosphoric Acid. The use of inhibitors is also very important to ensure that the acid pickling process is controlled properly. As these acids are classed as "hazardous" it is necessary to cordon off the area where the pipework being cleaned is present.

EnerMech has developed a unique in-house process for the chemical cleaning of pipework systems, in which all of the above problems are addressed and alleviated.

The process utilizes a suite of chemicals which are less hazardous and more environmentally friendly. EnerMech will assemble a cleaning "spread" including pumping units, temporary hoses and pipework, heating coils exchangers, circulating tanks and analytical/control equipment.

One of the most difficult chemical cleaning applications is that of Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers (PCHE). Due to the design of these units, the channels within the unit are extremely small in diameter (2mm), making normal conventional cleaning almost impossible.

EnerMech has developed an extremely effective and efficient method of cleaning these PCHE, which can be carried out either in our yard onshore, or on-site offshore. The method involves a combination of a chemical cleaning circulation, in conjunction with a series of gas puffing operations, which will ensure the optimum conditions inside the PCHE, and produce an effective and efficient cleaning programme.

Fluid and Pipework Services

Our aim is to work closely with our clients during the planning phase of a project to determine the appropriate cleanliness standard required for each particular pipework system. Thereafter we will engineer the most efficient and effective method of executing a safe service and delivering a clean pipework system.

EnerMech provides specialist pipework commissioning services, including:

• Pressure testing
• Hot oil flushing
• Chemical cleaning.
• Laboratory services
• Fluid conditioning equipment rental

Pressure Testing

Using the most advanced pressure testing equipment, coupled with calibrated pressure and temperature recorders, we provide system integrity assurance.

Hot Oil Flushing

75% of equipment failures are proven to be a result of oil or lube system contamination. The elimination of these contaminants requires specialised equipment and robust procedures. EnerMech is the market leader in hot oil flushing. Our track record, equipment and experience are unrivalled.

Chemical Cleaning

Removal of mill scale, water hardness deposits, rust, oil, greases and process contaminants from pipework can be a particular problem for our clients. EnerMech has developed an industry leading process for the chemical cleaning of pipework systems. Our process utilizes a suit of chemicals which are less hazardous and more environmentally friendly. EnerMech has one of the most comprehensive fleets of specialist chemical cleaning equipment providing this service, including pumping units, heating coils exchangers, circulating tanks and analytical/control equipment.

Laboratory Services

EnerMech provides fluid analysis services, including particle counting, in accordance with all current cleanliness standards. We use both state of the art particle contamination monitors and binocular microscope assessment with visual count.

Fluid Conditioning Equipment Rental

We offer for a hire a comprehensive suite of specialist fluid conditioning equipment for offline removal of water and particulate from hydraulic, lubrication and seal oil systems.
