AWT, Save £££ Come Rain or Shine - July 2011
The Problem...
The Advanced Water Treatment head office is in Downham Market, East Anglia and over the past few weeks we, like many areas in the UK, have had a mix of sunshine and thunder storms.
This got me thinking... Why don't more people take advantage of the water that falls freely from the skies?
The Problem...
Our client was having issues with scale build up their steam generator. This was causing reduced heat exchanging efficiency, carbonic acid build up in their steam as well as erosion in the gaskets and valves in the steam line. The issues were so severe that on a number of occasions the water tubes inside the steam generator were completely blocked, causing the system's safety features to shut the generator down due to back pressure. This problem was costing lots of money, both in repairs and replacing parts, as well as hugely costly downtime in production...

The Problem...
Both end-users and re-sellers regularly come back to Advanced Water Treatment again and again because of our fair pricing structure and expertise. One regular client group is individuals working with boilers. They are experts in their field, boilers, engineering, maintenance, but there are many who do not want to get too involved in the water treatment side of the business. And that's where we have been helping them. Below are a few of our recent projects associated with boilers...
The Problem...
Advanced Water Treatment was approached by staff at a large, multi-building secondary school, who were unsure about their requirements with regards to Legionella and the ACOP L8. Whether or not their existing systems and procedures were sufficient and what actions they could take. They had an existing risk assessment, however were uncertain as to its validity and its compliance to current guidelines. They needed to have a conversation with someone who they could trust to give them accurate, up to date, expert advice and create a plan for the most cost effective solution.
The Solution...
The Problem...
A farm which had been left inactive for a number of years, was taken over by a company wishing to go back into production. There was a steam boiler on site which had been used to generate steam to dis-infect some produce storage sheds. The location of the farm meant that the mains water feed was 'hard' meaning it contained many dissolved minerals. If the boiler was fed with mains water there would be many problems with scale, corrosion and potentially dangerous gasses build up. There was some water treatment plant on site but exactly what was there, and the state it was in was not certain.
