Viability Assessment
Technical, economic, legal, operational, and environmental evaluation in one study.
Risk Identification
Identify and mitigate risks early before they escalate into costly issues.
Structured Approach
From consultation through evaluation, reporting, and implementation planning.
Feasibility
Studies
Assess. Evaluate. Implement.
At EnerTherm Engineering, we offer feasibility study services to assess the viability of your proposed projects. Our comprehensive evaluations cover technical, economic, legal, operational, and environmental aspects, providing you with the insights needed to make informed decisions and minimise risks.
Ensure Project
Success
A feasibility study is a comprehensive assessment that evaluates the viability of a proposed project. This type of study is crucial for determining whether a project is worth pursuing and involves a detailed analysis of technical, economic, legal, operational, and environmental aspects.
The outcome is a detailed report that includes an executive summary, analysis of key factors, conclusions, and recommendations. This report serves as a crucial decision-making tool, helping stakeholders determine whether to proceed with the project, make adjustments, or abandon it altogether.
Technical Feasibility
Assess whether technology and resources required are available and adequate for successful implementation.
Economic Feasibility
Evaluate financial viability including total cost, revenue projections, ROI, and payback period.
Operational Feasibility
Determine how well the project integrates within current organisational structure and processes.
Environmental Feasibility
Examine potential environmental impact and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

Our 6-Step
Approach
A comprehensive methodology covering consultation, data collection, technical and commercial evaluation, reporting, and implementation planning.
Initial Consultation & Objective Setting
We conduct an in-depth kick-off meeting with your team to define project goals, technical constraints, regulatory requirements, and operational benchmarks.
Through structured workshops and stakeholder interviews, we establish clear objectives, success criteria, and key performance indicators. This ensures the feasibility study is precisely scoped to deliver actionable insights that align with your strategic priorities and capital planning timelines.
Data Collection & Analysis
We gather critical data through laboratory research, on-site measurements, process simulations, and controlled factory trials tailored to your specific operating conditions.
Our engineers deploy advanced analytical tools including Industrial Process Modelling, Pinch Analysis, CAE simulation, CFD studies, and statistically designed experiments. Each data source is cross-validated to build a robust evidence base that underpins all subsequent technical and commercial evaluations.
Technical Evaluation
We rigorously assess the technical viability of the proposed solution, evaluating materials, process compatibility, energy performance, and integration with existing plant infrastructure.
Our evaluation covers equipment sizing, heat and mass balance verification, control system requirements, and compliance with applicable standards and regulations. We identify potential technical risks early and propose engineered solutions, design alternatives, or phased approaches to mitigate them.
Commercial Evaluation
We evaluate capital expenditure, operating costs, market dynamics, and the competitive landscape to build a complete financial picture of the proposed project.
Our team delivers detailed cost-benefit analyses, payback period calculations, and ROI projections grounded in real equipment quotations and operational benchmarks. We also assess funding opportunities such as grants, subsidies, and energy savings certificates to maximise the financial case for investment.
Report & Recommendations
We compile a comprehensive engineering report presenting all findings, technical drawings, simulation results, and clearly prioritised recommendations.
The deliverable includes an executive summary for decision-makers, detailed technical appendices, a risk register with proposed mitigation strategies, and a ranked list of options with associated costs and benefits. This report serves as the definitive reference document for securing stakeholder buy-in and progressing to the next phase.
Implementation Planning
We develop a detailed implementation roadmap with phased milestones, resource allocation, procurement schedules, and commissioning timelines.
Our planning covers contractor coordination, permitting requirements, shutdown scheduling, and change management to ensure a smooth transition from study to execution. We remain available to support the project through procurement, installation supervision, and performance verification during commissioning.
