Product Overview

Precise, Safe, High-Temperature Thermal Oil Heating

ISOTEX HTM Heaters — the Unitherm Series — are engineered for industries requiring the highest levels of temperature precision, thermal stability, and contamination-free indirect process heating using premium synthetic heat transfer medium (HTM) fluids. HTM systems deliver consistent, uniform process heat at temperatures up to 380°C with near-atmospheric operating pressure, combining operational safety with exceptional process repeatability.

Unlike mineral-oil-based thermal oil systems, ISOTEX HTM Heaters are specifically designed to operate with synthetic HTM fluids — including globally recognised brands such as Therminol, Marlotherm, Dowtherm, and Paratherm — offering superior thermal stability, longer fluid service life, and lower oxidation rates at high operating temperatures.

As a complete turnkey solution — from the oil/gas-fired burner and heat exchanger through synthetic HTM circulation system, nitrogen blanketing, expansion vessel, precision control, and SMARTWIZ IoT integration — every Unitherm HTM Heater is factory-assembled and commissioned before dispatch, ensuring rapid site startup and reliable long-term operation

🌾
Rice Husk
GCV ~3,000–3,200 kCal/kg
  • High-silica agro-waste from rice milling, one of India’s most abundant and affordable biomass fuels — compatible with pinhole grate and FBC combustion systems on hot oil heaters.
🎍
Sugarcane Bagasse
~2,100–2,400 kCal/kg (dry);
Fibrous residue from sugar mills, available in high volumes near sugar belts — ideal for hot oil heaters co-located with sugar industry and ethanol plants
🪵
Wood Chips & Wood Waste
GCV ~3,200–3,800 kCal/kg
Forestry and sawmill wood offcuts, chips, and bark, abundantly available near wood processing clusters in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh — most common biomass fuel for hot oil systems in plywood, paper, and chemical industries
🥜
Groundnut Shell
~4,200 kCal/kg

High-calorific agro-waste, from groundnut processing in Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh; excellent fuel quality with low ash content — ideal for hot oil systems near edible oil processing clusters.

🟫
Biomass Pellets & Briquettes
GCV 3,800–4,500 kCal/kg

Densified agro-waste pellets (rice husk, mustard stalk, cotton stalk), automated feeding, clean combustion, and ease of storage — premium biomass fuel for solid-fuel hot oil systems.

🫒
De-Oiled Cake (DOC)
GCV ~3,500–4,000 kCal/kg
Residue from edible oil expeller plants (groundnut cake, mustard cake), directly available from own plant operations in edible oil, dal mill, and oil refining industries.
Coal & Lignite Fuels
Indonesian / South African Steam Coal
GCV 4,500–5,500 kCal/kg

Imported thermal coal with consistent, low moisture, low ash — most widely specified coal grade for FBC and stoker-fired hot oil systems in chemical, polyester, and polymer plants.

🪨
Indian Non-Coking Coal (NCC
GCV 3,500–4,500 kCal/kg 

Domestic coal from CIL sources, (GCV basis); cost-effective fuel for large-capacity hot oil systems where biomass availability is limited — FBC combustion recommended for high-ash Indian coal grades.

🟫
Lignite
GCV ~2,800–3,400 kCal/kg

Low-rank coal from Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu lignite fields, high moisture content requires FBC or dumping grate combustion — very low cost per kCal for plants in lignite-producing regions.

Technology Advantages

Engineering Advantages of the ISOTEX Unitherm HTM Heater

The Ecobloc introduces patented inbed heat recovery technology and advanced FBC combustion engineering that surpasses every conventional alternative in efficiency, fuel flexibility, and long-term reliability.

1. Precision HTM Temperature Control — ±1°C

  • Modulating burner with proportional control achieves ±1°C HTM outlet temperature precision — critical for pharmaceutical, chemical, and polyester process repeatability
  • PID-controlled automatic firing rate adjustment matches burner output to real-time process heat demand — prevents HTM overheating during low-load periods
  • Multiple temperature zone management: SMARTWIZ IoT manages individual consumer temperature zones from a single HTM heater — optimising heat distribution across complex multi-consumer systems
  • Rapid temperature ramping capability: controlled ramp rates protect synthetic HTM fluid from thermal shock during startup — extending fluid service life

2. Advanced Flue Gas Heat Recovery (TFPH)

  • Thermic Fluid Pre-Heater (TFPH) economiser recovers waste heat from flue gases — preheating HTM fluid before firebox entry for up to 3% additional system efficiency
  • Reduced coil thermal stress: lower inlet-to-outlet temperature differential across firebox coil protects synthetic HTM fluid from thermal degradation at hot spots
  • Fuel savings: every 3% efficiency improvement on a 20 Lac kCal/hr unit saves approximately ₹3–5 Lakhs/year in natural gas or liquid fuel cost
  • Rapid TFPH payback: investment in flue gas recovery typically recovered within 6–10 months of continuous operation

3. Advanced Flue Gas Heat Recovery (TFPH)

  • Real-time monitoring: HTM outlet/inlet temperature, coil pressure, pump flow rate, expansion vessel level, nitrogen pressure, flue gas temperature, and burner status — all in one dashboard
  • HTM fluid quality monitoring: continuous tracking of fluid temperature history and peak temperatures — generates fluid degradation risk alerts before irreversible breakdown occurs
  • Remote access: 24/7 mobile and web dashboard access for plant managers — instant visibility of HTM system health from anywhere
  • Predictive maintenance: early-detection alerts for pump performance loss, coil fouling, burner degradation, and nitrogen blanket pressure loss — preventing costly unplanned shutdowns
  • Compliance data: SMARTWIZ generates certified temperature logs, fluid temperature history, and efficiency records for regulatory, insurance, and ESG reporting requirements

4. Advanced ASTM-Standard HTM Coil Tube Technology

  • All coil tubes manufactured to ASTM A106 / A179 / A213 standards — ensuring full compatibility with synthetic HTM fluid chemical and thermal properties
  • Full hydraulic pressure test on every coil — no exceptions
  • Alloy steel tube options (ASTM A213 T11, T22) for operating temperatures above 280°C where carbon steel creep limits require higher-grade material
  • No negative wall thickness tolerance — ASTM-compliant precision manufacturing ensures full design life with synthetic HTM fluids
  • Smooth bore internal surface: minimises carbon deposit formation from HTM fluid — critical for maintaining film temperature within fluid manufacturer’s limits
