Water Hygiene Treatment Services

  Healthy and Compliant Water Hygiene Treatment   We have been delivering water hygiene treatment services for many years. We continually strive to appraise and improve our performance and, where appropriate, secure efficiencies without compromising on quality standards.   We recognise that investment in the Continued Professional Development of our staff is paramount to our success.   We aim to provide our customers with the peace of mind that they are complying with all statutory regulations in: protecting the environment; caring for the health and safety of employees and the communities in which we live.  

Health & Safety at Work Regulations

  The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 imposes a duty on every employer to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of: 1.    the risks to the health and safety of their employees to which they are exposed whilst they are at work, and... 2.                    the risks to the health and safety of persons not in their employment arising out of or in connection with the conduct by the employer of their undertaking.   The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 places a much greater responsibility and business risk on organisations in terms of the consequences of health and safety compliance failure.  

Every building with 5 or more employees must have a water hygiene risk assessment – these must be carried out every two years. They are ‘live’ documents that must be up to date in recording relevant changes.

  As an employer or a person in control of the premises (e.g. a landlord), you must: ·         Prepare, implement and manage a scheme for preventing or controlling risk – appointing a person to be responsible (to be referred to as the ‘responsible person’). ·         If appropriate, notify the local authority that you have a cooling tower(s) on site.       Code of Practice / Compliance and the Law   A code of practice is not in itself ‘the law’ and following the guidance is not compulsory, unless stated, and you are free to take other action. However, if you do follow guidance you will normally be doing enough to comply with the law. Health & Safety inspectors seek to secure compliance with the law and may refer to this guidance. Each of these regulations is accompanied by an approved code of practice (‘ACOP’) which gives guidance on how compliance with the regulations can be achieved.   Regulatory compliance describes the goal that organisations aspire to achieve in their efforts to ensure that they are aware of and take steps to comply with relevant laws and regulations.   Water Hygiene Products & Services   Cleanliness, water quality and microbiological protection are essential factors in the safe operation of engineered water systems.   As specialists in the field of water hygiene, Jasun Envirocare provides traditional methods of remedial works, such as: cleaning, disinfection and refurbishment of commercial water systems but also utilises innovative ‘Continuous Control Systems’.   All our systems and practices are designed to meet specific site requirements for the full range of commercial, industrial, leisure and healthcare premises. All of our working methods and control systems fully comply with current codes of practice and BSRIA guidelines.   Services in Detail   o    Planned analytical service visits at agreed intervals o    Water analysis by an independent UKAS accredited laboratory for all water bourn microorganism including Legionella, Pneumophila and other species o    Pre-treatment plant servicing and disinfection of softener resin beds. o    Clean and chlorination of water storage tanks and chlorination of associated services. o    Calorifier monitoring and disinfection o    Hot and Cold-water monitoring and inspection services o    Legionella risk assessment and schematic drawings o    Water hygiene monitoring, logbook design and reporting o    Minor pipe and plant alterations and Boiler Treatment o    All remedial works relating to tank liners, replacement tanks, water softeners and pipe work alterations to Bylaw 30 standards o    Pre-commission cleaning, biocide washing and dynamic flushing of closed systems BSRIA. o    Pre-commission cleaning of pipe work systems o    Post-treatment of closed systems o    Addition and monitoring of inhibitors of LPHW and chilled water systems o    On-site water analysis and hardness testing Refurbishment works relating to cold water storage tanks and down-water systems, including: re-coating services; installation of rodent and insect screens; pipe work modifications to avoid stagnation; and total tank replacements... are carried out in compliance with the water supply regulations and to ACOP L8, as a minimum requirement.   We use chemical products that include environmentally friendly biocides and neutral pH cleaning / flushing agents suitable for use within older systems, which are available to maximise the cleanliness and efficiency of water systems.   ·         Supply and installation of water softeners and filtration ·         Water treatment chemicals  

Pre-Commission Flushing

·         Jasun Envirocare carries out all works on new systems in accordance with BSRIA BG 29 2012. Flushing, Chemical Cleaning and system stabilisation is required for heating, chilled and condenser circuits. The chemicals used are the most effective available and have been in practical use in these types of systems for some years. ·         When existing systems are found to be fouled by corrosion, scale or debris resulting from lack of or incorrect treatment, we offer an on-line cleaning programme. It is the company policy to use non-aggressive chemical cleaning technology in conjunction with the flushing and inhibiting procedures used in pre-commissioning cleaning  

De-scaling Works

·         De-scaling of water systems such as boilers, calorifiers and water heaters is sometimes required. In most cases we use a chemical dosing rig that is fitted to the flow and return pipe work to ensure acid is circulated throughout the system and that all scale is removed.   Services in Detail Continued
