CHP & Energy

Reduce energy use and boost efficiency with smarter CHP, metering and heat recovery across small and large plants.

WHY CHP & ENERGY MATTERS ⚡

To cut energy costs, you need a clear picture of where energy actually goes.

In most industrial plants, CHP sits at the centre of energy generation — feeding heat, steam and electricity to everything else. But CHP is only one part of the story. Real savings come from understanding how energy moves through your process: what is used, what is recovered and what is quietly being wasted.

With energy costs rising year on year, even small inefficiencies now have a big financial impact. Without trustworthy metering and clear SCADA data, it is almost impossible to spot losses or justify investment in improvements.

SES Engineering helps sites build that picture. With over a decade working across CHP, steam systems, compressed air, utilities and process equipment, we map your energy flows, highlight unnecessary consumption and identify practical, fast-payback improvements.

When you can finally see how your plant uses energy, you can take meaningful action — cutting waste, reducing load on CHP assets and improving overall site efficiency.

What we deliver

  • Energy flow studies — pinpointing where heat, steam, electricity and gas are consumed, and where losses hide.
  • Front End Engineering Design (FEED) — sizing CHP and major energy projects, shaping control philosophy and integrating with existing systems.
  • Efficiency upgrades — better heat recovery, optimised control logic, LED upgrades and practical changes that cut unnecessary consumption.
  • Energy metering & dashboards — installations with SCADA integration for audits, optimisation and ESG reporting.
  • Resilient CHP controls — packaged and multi-megawatt units, including biogas and waste-heat systems.
  • LV/HV integration support — up to 33 kV, with G99 and G100 compliance managed end-to-end.
  • Utilities optimisation — steam, compressed air and process services using live operational data.

Ready to understand your energy use?

Most plants are surprised by how much energy is lost to poor metering, oversized equipment or ageing control logic. A short study is often enough to uncover actionable savings.

Why us

Our director is BOAS trained and has delivered CHP projects large and small - he knows what good looks like and what trips plants up. We design controls that keep efficiency high, while clear HMIs and alarms let operators see when energy is being wasted.

Experience spans biogas CHP in distilleries, packaged CHP optimisation and large refurbishments. We manage metering, demand control, safety interlocks and reporting so you can prove and sustain savings.

Recent work

  • ¶œ5.5m CHP refurbishment delivered on time and within budget, with modernised controls and SCADA - read the case study.
  • Biogas CHP controls for distillery waste streams, balancing generation with process heat demand.
  • Metering rollouts and energy dashboards to track savings from LED lighting and heat recovery upgrades.
