Designed to optimise efficiency, improve productivity, and reduce carbon emissions – Glacier Energy’s HTX Digital is an innovative solution for improving the energy efficiency of heat exchangers.

As market leaders in the provision of full turnkey heat transfer solutions, this next development of our technology offering provides a proactive approach to heat transfer equipment maintenance for our customers, which has the energy transition at its heart.

Glacier Energy is a proactive participant in the energy transition, and we are committed to driving down carbon emissions, both internally and for our customers. The algorithms and technical expertise embedded in HTX Digital ensures actionable data, resulting in an optimised maintenance schedule, which can result in OPEX savings of up to 30%. Smarter cleaning and maintenance solutions are achieved through the monitoring of operational data, and combining it with predictive analytics to calculate the most economically beneficial time to intervene in the heat exchanger operation.

HTX Digital offers customers a collaborative method of heat exchanger monitoring, maintenance and repair.

Glacier Energy is committed to the energy transition and working towards net zero goals.

To make sure our practices and behaviours are in line with the future of the energy industry and beyond, we have developed an advanced ESG strategy, detailing how we move forward as a team and business overall with these three pillars – Environment, Social and Governance - at the centre of our actions.

For example, we are focused on improving energy efficiency and emissions, both in our day-to-day lives and across the business. We have taken steps to ensure our waste and water disposal processes and credentials of our suppliers are as environmentally friendly as possible, and our next steps include offsetting carbon emissions generated by our vehicles and travel and creating electronic methods to replace use of paper.

Our strategy encompasses Glacier Energy as a whole – including how we approach our staff, customers, supply chain, equipment and technology.

As such, we developed our innovative HTX Digital software to optimise efficiency, improve productivity and reduce carbon emissions. Ultimately, our goal is to assist our customers to reduce their carbon footprints and to improve the energy efficiency of heat exchangers in the industry.

Our dedication to implementing our comprehensive and robust ESG strategy is a priority. Our aim is to embrace the energy transition and we look forward to continuing this exciting journey with our staff, customers and wider energy industry.

Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) provides detailed visualisations of vessels, pipes or other infrastructure without the need to halt production – or establish safe zones to protect your staff from ionising radiation.

The technique is accurate, and allows you to quickly map the size, shape, depth and orientation of corrosion, cracks, flaws and other defects. It’s also cost-effective, and provides data in real-time, allowing our inspection personnel to analyse your equipment/infrastructure and produce a detailed inspection report in a matter of hours. 

Energy sector clients call on us to conduct phased array ultrasonic testing when they need to carry out: 

• Weld inspections
• Corrosion mapping
• Bolt and nozzle inspections
• Structural assessments 
• Fitness-for-service assessments
• Flaw analysis
• Engineering critical assessments (ECAs)

We also provide phased array inspection services for new-build fabrication and assembly projects where there’s a need to test or certify the integrity of piping, pipelines, vessels, and structural welded members.

Glacier Energy, a leading international provider of specialist products, services, and engineering solutions for energy infrastructure, has developed a new predictive maintenance tool for monitoring heat exchanger performance.

Andy Scott, Director of Glacier Energy’s Heat Transfer division, said: “We are delighted to launch HTX Digital which reinforces the strength of our thermal mechanical capabilities and our market-leading status in the heat transfer field.

“Using specially designed analytics and algorithms, our subject matter experts can interpret heat exchanger data into meaningful insights that can be acted upon in real time, or predicted, to maintain and improve operational stability.”

“Glacier Energy is a proactive participant in the energy transition, and through the launch of HTX Digital, we are supporting the sustainability of our industry by helping our customers to achieve cleaner and more efficient energy production.”

Lost production in the UKCS due to heat transfer equipment failures, is estimated to be around £600million per annum. HTX Digital has the potential to reduce maintenance costs and unplanned downtime by up to 30%. Furthermore, it can measure and monitor the carbon footprint of heat exchangers to help reduce CO2 intensity and emissions from operations.

As well as the launch of HTX Digital, Glacier Energy’s heat transfer team is moving to a larger design and manufacturing facility next month to support the company’s future growth and meet the demand for its services across the offshore, onshore, and alternative energy sectors.
