About ERATHERM — Industrial Insulation and Defence, Aerospace & Space Thermal Engineering

ERATHERM applies the same engineering discipline to large-scale field works at industrial facilities and requirements-led thermal system design for defence, aerospace and space programmes. Depending on project scope, we bring together analysis, detailed design, material supply, installation and verification.

OUR AREAS OF WORK

Two areas of work, one delivery discipline

We define operating conditions and acceptance criteria first, then design the system, justify material selection and verify performance on site or under test.

Pipe and equipment insulation at an industrial facility
01 / INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES

Insulation designed for the process

For EPC contractors and operators, we develop thermal, cryogenic, acoustic and fire-resistant systems for refineries, power plants, petrochemical and LNG facilities, mines and nuclear facilities. We track the scope from quantity and specification review through to maintenance.

  • Assessing heat loss, condensation, surface temperature and corrosion under insulation (CUI) risk.
  • Preparing technical specifications, calculation reports, shop drawings, BoQs and system details.
  • Supplying documented materials, prefabricating components, installing on site and supporting planned shutdowns.
  • HSE planning, ITP hold points, progress records and thermographic verification.

Each project is delivered with traceable specifications and quality records.

Thermal control for mission conditions

For prime contractors and R&D teams, we assess thermal, cryogenic and acoustic requirements across satellite, launch, TVAC, UAV, naval and high-speed flight systems. From concept design to qualification support, we tie the scope to programme acceptance criteria.

  • Assessing mission profiles, hot and cold limits, vacuum, IR visibility and interface loads.
  • Detailed design of MLI, vacuum-jacketed lines, cryogenic servicing and thermal protection layers.
  • Checking material suitability and applicable export restrictions; coordinating controlled installation and testing.
  • Model–test correlation, qualification support, technical training and acceptance records.

Programme, platform and performance data are handled under a confidentiality agreement.

HOW WE WORK

One engineering chain, from calculation to acceptance

Operating conditions govern system selection. Site access, maintenance, cleanliness, procurement and verification requirements inform the design from the start.

01 / Requirements

Boundary conditions

We establish the process or mission profile, geometry, heat loads, environment and measurable acceptance criteria.

02 / Design

Analysis and detailing

We turn thermal analysis, layer selection, interfaces and installation drawings into a justified technical package.

03 / Delivery

Supply and installation

We verify material suitability and carry out installation against project requirements and the quality plan.

04 / Verification

Measurement and acceptance

We compare inspection, tests and field measurements against design targets and record the results.

For prime contractors and operators

BoQ and specification reviews, material certificates, ITP/NCR records, schedule-linked progress reports, as-built documentation and maintenance access. Our contractual role with the owner or a prime contractor is defined for each project.

Detailed insulation engineering Third-party inspection (TPI)

For programme and design teams

Following an NDA: a requirements matrix, analysis report, material selection rationale, specimen and test plan, model–test comparison, installation procedure and acceptance records. Applicable standards are selected against programme requirements.

Engineering decisions must work on site

“Insulation is the combination of engineering calculation, the right system design and field expertise.”

Hayati Erkan Taşyürek earned a master’s degree in fluid dynamics at The City University of New York. He began his field work with İSTAŞ Endüstri A.Ş. and continued it through ERATHERM, carrying the experience gained on the STAR Refinery, Tüpraş, PETKİM and combined-cycle power plant projects into the technical requirements of defence, aerospace and space programmes.

Our approach turns analysis into buildable details and evaluates selected materials through measured system performance.

These projects were carried out under the responsibility of our founder and his team, either under a direct client contract or under a main contractor. Scope, the role undertaken and dates are documented separately for each project; reference letters and completion certificates are shared on request. Work under defence, aerospace and space programmes is not listed here, as required by confidentiality agreements.

TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

Let’s define your project’s boundary conditions

For industrial work, we review process and site data. For defence and space work, we discuss mission and acceptance requirements once confidentiality terms are in place.
