Closed System Treatment

Advanced Water Technologies provide consultation and evaluation services for effective closed system water management. Our capabilities cover Maintenance, Chemical Supply, Service Schedules and Legionella Control Services.

A closed system, or closed circuit as it is also known, is a recirculating system that has little or no fresh water make-up, generally less than 10% per year. Closed systems can be used for heating or to carry cooling water. Examples would include central heating and air conditioning systems. Many critical cooling applications employ a closed system, due to the benefit offered by minimising potential influx of debris and microbiological growths. Mains water as supplied, is safe to drink. However, unless the water used for closed system is ‘conditioned’ to make it safe to the fabric of the system, dramatic reductions in system efficiency will occur. The typical causes for these problems are:

• Corrosion – ferrous & non-ferrous decomposition
• Scale Formulation – deposition of calcium & magnesium salts
• Fouling – deposition of particular matter
• Microbiological Activity – protozoa, pseudomona’s, biofilms, legionella, etc.

An essential component, therefore, of successful operation of a closed water system must be an effective water treatment programme. Effective water treatment can only be ensured if operators deal with a reputable water treatment company. Such a company must deliver reliable, cost effective solutions to customer requirements. It must also ensure those solutions comply with ever tightening legislation and regulations, particularly in the areas of Health & Safety and the Environment. Advanced Water Technologies is such a company.

We can often improved the performance of existing closed water systems by making simple changes. We work closely with our clients, especially designing site-specific programmes and service schedules.

Legionella Risk Assessment

Although it is impossible to guarantee that pathogenic micro-organisms such as Legionella will not exist in a water system, through proactive management and effective control programmes it is possible to dramatically reduce the factors that allow those responsible bacteria to proliferate and spread.

Regulatory Compliance

Advanced Water Technologies professional legionella risk assessments and integrated management programmes take a holistic approach to the control and management of Legionella and other waterborne pathogens that may exist in water systems. Each comprehensive programme is developed as a working tool on an individual site-specific basis to help evaluate and reduce those health related risks arising from water systems, and to ensure regulatory compliance.

Recommended Practices and Guidelines

AWT`s Legionella risk assesment programmes have been developed in accordance with current recommended practices and guidelines on the control of Legionella from the UK’s Health and Safety Commission (HSC), the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) L8, the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OHSA); Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).

Steam Boiler Water Treatment

Advanced Water Technologies is a U.K. based company providing consultation and evaluation services for effective boiler water management. Our capabilities cover Chemical Supply, Service Schedules, External Treatment Plant and Inspection Services.

Industrial steam boilers are and will continue to be the most effective and efficient method of supplying heat to industrial processes, the heating medium in all these processes is steam. Water is super heated under pressure and in doing so produces steam. This water, commonly known as, boiler make-up is critical to the efficiency to the steam boiler operation. The make-up water not only has high flow requirements, but must be of a high purity. Failures to manage good make-up water will dramatically reduction boiler efficiency.

To achieve efficient operation of a steam boiler system, there are three key areas to consider, External Treatment [softener, dearation, reverse osmosis], Internal Treatment [phosphates, alkalinity builders, oxygen scavengers] and Condensate Treatments [neutral & filming amines]

The typical causes for steam boiler system problems are:

• Corrosion – ferrous & non-ferrous decomposition
• Scale Formulation – deposition of calcium & magnesium salts
• Steam Carryover – solids carryover with the steam
• Condensate Treatment – corrosion of condensate lines

Effective steam boiler treatment can only be ensured if operators deal with a reputable water treatment company. Such a company must deliver reliable, cost effective solutions to customer requirements. It must also ensure those solutions comply with ever tightening legislation and regulations, particularly in the areas of Health & Safety and the Environment. Advanced Water Technologies is such a company.

We can often improve the performance of existing steam boiler systems by making simple changes. We work closely with our clients, especially designing site-specific programmes and service schedules. This combined with years of experience, process knowledge and professionalism, makes us well positioned to fully meet the needs of today's steam boiler treatment market.

Waste Water Treatment

Advanced Water Technologies is a U.K. based company providing consultation and evaluation services for wastewater treatment problems. Our capabilities cover Plant Design, Installation, Commissioning, Maintenance, Chemical Supply and Service Schedules.

There are many different types of treatment systems available, but commonly three systems are widely used in the UK today; Settlement, Chemical Treatment, Biological Treatment or a combination of all three.

1. Settlement – the principal for wastewater treatment is very basic. The wastewater stream is directed into a holding tank, large enough, to have sufficient dwell time to either; sink or float contaminant form the wastewater stream prior to dis-charge to foul drain.
2. Chemical Treatment – there are four key stages when wastewater streams require chemical treatment to remove the contaminants prior to discharge to foul drain; Coagulation, Precipitation, Flocculation, Separation
3. Biological Treatment – this approach to wastewater treatment utilises bacteria or enzymes to digest the contaminants. The wastewater stream is directed into a holding system; a simple tank, grease-trap or activated sludge process. There the bacteria are injected and feed off the wastewater contaminants, prior to discharge to foul drain.

We can often improved the performance of existing treatment systems by making simple changes. We work closely with our clients, especially designing site-specific programmes and service schedules. This combined with years of experience, process knowledge and professionalism, makes us well positioned to fully meet the needs of today's wastewater market.

Legionella Awareness Training

Introduction

Awareness of legionella and the potentially serious effects of Legionnaires’ disease have grown in recent years, often fuelled by the publicity from the major outbreaks, which have led to prosecutions under the Health & Safety at Work Act. For organisations of all types, it has become more important that individuals understand their legal duties and the serious consequences of a failure to comply with the law.

The L8 ACoP sets out legislative obligations and states that those involved in legionella management: 'should have such ability, experience, instruction, information, training and resources as to allow them to carry out their tasks'. Successful completion of this course the delegate can be regarded as a competent person. The course is accredited with an attendance certificate.

Paint Booth Treatment

Advanced Water Technologies is a U.K. based company providing consultation and evaluation services for effective paint booth management. Our capabilities cover Maintenance, Chemical Supply, Service Schedules and Waste Disposal Services.

Successful operation of a paint booth system requires the cooperative effort of all parties involved. Our goal is to help our customers keep a clean, hygienic booth, in order to prevent inconvenient and costly down time. We do this as a consulting role, as a mediator of a team, and as a supplier of site-specific designed chemical programmes and service schedules.

When left untreated or incorrectly treated paint sludge can:

• clog pipes and pumps;
• disrupt air balance;
• create safety hazards;
• increase cleaning frequency and costs;
• increase bacterial load;
• increase system corrosion;
• increase foaming tendency;
• disrupts sludge handling and removal.

Spray booth systems are also excellent breeding grounds for many types of biological growth. Left unabated, bacterial and fungal slimes can lead to high risks from Legionnaires Disease and booth odour problems. Typical bacteria guidelines can be found in the HSE publication L8 – The control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems. These guidelines place the responsibility on booth operators to; assess the risk, manage the risk, carry out regular bacteria checks (weekly) and perform a six-monthly clean/disinfection of spray booths.

We can often improved the performance of existing treatment systems by making simple changes. We work closely with our clients, especially designing site-specific programmes and service schedules. This combined with years of experience, process knowledge and professionalism, makes us well positioned to fully meet the needs of today's paint booth treatment market.
