Water Management
Advanced Water Management for Optimal System Performance and Efficiency
Protecting your assets, reducing operational costs, and ensuring environmental compliance with our expert water treatment programmes.
Beyond the critical need for Legionella control, the correct management of your commercial and industrial water systems is a vital investment in your business’s operational health. Untreated or poorly managed water can lead to scale, corrosion, and bio-fouling, which silently damages expensive plant and equipment, drives up energy bills, and can cause costly, unexpected downtime.
At Water & Air Management, our systematic approach is proven to reduce these risks and maintain the highest standards of water hygiene and efficiency. Our expert consultants work with everything from pre-treatment plants to effluent and wastewater units, helping you protect your assets and keep your services running safely and efficiently.
The High Cost of Untreated Water
For any facilities manager, the consequences of poor water treatment are significant. The business pain points are clear and measurable:
Asset Damage
Scale and corrosion can drastically reduce the lifespan of critical systems like boilers, cooling towers, and heat exchangers, leading to premature and expensive replacement.
Reduced Efficiency
Even a thin layer of scale on a heat exchange surface can significantly increase energy consumption, leading to higher operational costs.
Production Downtime
System failures caused by blockages or corrosion can halt operations, impacting productivity and revenue.
Compliance Risks
Failure to correctly manage wastewater and effluent can lead to breaches in environmental regulations and costly fines.
Bespoke Water Treatment Programmes
We position ourselves as your long-term partner in water management. We move beyond a simple “one-size-fits-all” approach to design and implement tailored water treatment programmes that address the specific challenges of your site and deliver a measurable return on investment.
Our Water Treatment and Engineering Services Include:
Cooling Tower & Boiler Water Treatment
We design and implement effective chemical treatment programmes to control scale, corrosion, and bio-film contamination in cooling towers and steam boilers. Good water treatment keeps your plant running at maximum efficiency and increases its longevity.
Closed System Management
We provide expert dosage, monitoring, and chemical cleaning for closed systems, including heating and chilled water circuits. This protects the system from internal corrosion and fouling, ensuring optimal heat transfer and system reliability.
Water Treatment Plant & Equipment
We can advise on, install, and maintain a wide range of water treatment equipment to suit your system’s specific needs. This includes water softeners, reverse osmosis (RO) units, ion exchange resins, and chlorine dioxide generators.
Wastewater & Effluent Treatment
Our consultants can advise on the best type of treatment for your effluent and wastewater units, ensuring you remain fully compliant with your trade effluent consent and environmental obligations.
Chemical Cleaning & Pre-Commissioning
We provide a variety of chemical cleaning services for both new, pre-commissioned systems and existing water management systems. We can take care of everything from contaminated debris on new pipework to unwanted oxides and deposited scales on boilers and cooling towers.
System Upgrades & Remedial Works
Our dedicated team of professionals can undertake a full range of remedial works and system upgrades, from the replacement of cold water tanks to full system redesigns to improve efficiency and compliance.
Engineering Expertise You Can Rely On
Our management systems and processes are designed to deliver the highest level of service and compliance. We are proud to hold Constructionline and SSIP accreditations, reinforcing our commitment to being a quality provider and consultant you can trust. Our team of experienced engineers focuses on providing detailed service reports and delivering tangible cost savings and efficiency gains for your business.
Your Water Treatment Questions Answered
What are the main signs of corrosion in a closed heating system?
Common signs include discoloured water (often black or brown) at vents or during draining, recurring leaks in radiators or pipework, and poor system performance where some radiators fail to heat up properly. These are often caused by oxygen ingress and low inhibitor levels.
How does a water softener save my business money?
A water softener removes limescale-forming minerals from the water. This prevents scale from building up on heat exchange surfaces in boilers and hot water systems. By keeping these surfaces clean, you ensure optimal heat transfer, which reduces energy consumption and lowers your fuel bills. It also extends the life of your equipment.
What is pre-commission cleaning?
Pre-commission cleaning is the process of cleaning and flushing a new pipework system (e.g., in a new building or extension) before it is put into service. This removes debris, grease, and other contaminants left over from the construction process, ensuring the system operates efficiently from day one and protecting it from early corrosion.
