Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Cuts Operational Costs by 73% with Industrial Heat Pump Technology

A major pharmaceutical manufacturer in Brazil has demonstrated how industrial heat pump technology can deliver substantial cost savings whilst supporting wider energy efficiency and decarbonisation objectives. Bionovis, one of Brazil's leading biopharmaceutical companies, partnered with Oilon to review and improve the way heat is generated for pharmaceutical production processes. The project deliv...

Large Capacity R290 Chillers Support Future-Proof Cooling Strategies

A common misconception within the HVAC and process cooling sector is that large capacity R290 natural refrigerant chillers are difficult to source for major commercial and industrial projects. This perception often stems from the fact that many established chiller manufacturers have historically focused on synthetic F-gas refrigerants for larger-capacity systems. Whilst the industry continues to a...

Growing Demand for High-Temperature Heat Pumps in Commercial and Industrial Retrofit Projects

Pure Thermal is seeing increased demand for single-stage monobloc heat pumps that can provide high-temperature heating within existing commercial and industrial systems. Many decarbonisation projects need to reduce carbon emissions without requiring major changes to existing emitters, pipework or plant infrastructure. A heat pump that can produce flow temperatures of up to 80°C can help meet this...

Improving Temperature Control Resilience in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Cooling systems play a vital role in pharmaceutical environments. They support process stability, controlled environments and product integrity across critical production areas. When demand changes quickly, many pharmaceutical cooling systems may already be operating close to their limits. This can leave limited spare capacity available during key processes, where conditions must remain tightly co...

Recognising the Wider Role of Refrigeration on World Refrigeration Day

World Refrigeration Day provides an important opportunity to reflect on the vital role the refrigeration, cooling and heating industry plays across almost every industrial and commercial sector. From food production and pharmaceuticals to manufacturing, leisure, healthcare and process cooling, refrigeration technology supports essential operations every day. However, as energy costs and carbon red...

Reducing Cooling Costs in Greenhouse Operations with Thermal Energy Storage

Maintaining the right growing conditions is one of the biggest challenges facing greenhouse operators across the UK. Temperature control, ventilation and cooling systems must work continuously to protect crops and support healthy growth, particularly during the warmer months when solar gain is at its highest. The challenge is that cooling demand often peaks at exactly the same time that electricit...

GAHPs and Decarbonisation – What Happens When Sites Cannot Electrify?

Following our recent poll, it’s clear there are mixed views on where gas absorption heat pumps (GAHPs) fit within the decarbonisation journey. At the same time, many retrofit projects are facing a challenge that is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: limited electrical capacity. Across a growing number of sites, we are seeing projects delayed or stalled due to: • Limited available electrica...

Large-Scale Waste Heat Recovery Project Advances Decarbonisation in Finland

One of the most advanced decarbonisation projects in Europe is now underway in the Helsinki region, where a major data centre development is being designed to serve a dual purpose. Alongside supporting digital infrastructure, the site will act as a large-scale source of low carbon heat. The 75MW facility, developed by Microsoft, is being integrated into a wider energy system through collaboration...

Industrial Heat Pump Solutions Supporting Large-Scale Decarbonisation

Decarbonisation at an industrial level brings a clear challenge. Systems must deliver high output while maintaining the temperatures required for demanding processes. Many standard heat pump solutions struggle to meet these conditions at scale. This is where Oilon and its industrial heat pump range offer a practical alternative. Working through Pure Thermal, these systems are now being applied acr...

Rethinking Chiller Design with Cold Thermal Energy Storage

Oversizing chillers remains a common approach to managing peak cooling demand. In many cases, this method leads to inefficiencies and higher project costs. Systems are often designed around short periods of peak load, even though these conditions may only occur for a few hours each year. This approach can result in higher capital expenditure, larger plant areas, and inefficient performance during...

Pure Thermal Addresses Delta T Challenges in Retrofit Heating Projects

Meeting the demands of existing commercial heating & hot water systems is often one of the biggest challenges in retrofit projects, especially when it comes to Delta T. At present most commercial heat pumps in the main are unable to operate with wider temperature differentials and cannot achieve a 20°C Delta T. This limitation forces engineers to introduce additional hydraulic workarounds such...

Rising Demand for High-Temperature Heat Pumps in Retrofit Projects

A clear shift is taking place across commercial and industrial heating. There is growing demand for single stage, monobloc heat pumps that can deliver high temperatures while working within existing systems. This change is driven by the need to reduce carbon emissions without increasing project costs. Many sites require solutions that fit into current infrastructure, rather than full system replac...
