Our Process will clean and passivate internal pipework, complying with Bsria. No water is required or sent to drain. We estimated in UK 90,000,000 tonnes of water per day saved

About

Process of taking impurities out of water in a one pass system, in brief we are able to take out the impurities which damage the pipework in an enclosed system. The impurities have to be removed. The Patented process - which is completely unique- has the potential to reduce the amount of water produced in the United Kingdom as clean water, then disposed to foul drain to be treated again, by 90,000,000 tonnes per day. Reducing the carbon footprint of our industry to NET ZERO. The process is fully compliant to BSRIA (Industry Guidance). It is fully tested (on our projects) and ready to market.

Key Benefits

We have determined that since 1989 The Pre-Commission Cleaning industry standard process (which continues to be favoured today) has resulted in billions of Tonnes of water wasted unnecessarily, due ultimately to fear of change. We have developed a unique patented process which can revolutionise our sector. Reducing the water usage to ZERO. I have spent the last two decades looking at how we can prevent this specific wastewater. My initial light bulb moment was at an Astra Zeneca project, working on the water treatment of the enclosed systems. Whilst on site, I discovered that the purpose of this building was to determine the effects of chemicals coming from medication consumed by humans, ending up in the water system. This made me think about the amount of water containing many different chemicals sent to waste treatment plants by our industry standard process alone. I felt there must be a more environmentally conscious way to move forward. I then worked at DFRA in Aberdeen on another construction project. DEFRA were studying the effects on seawater fish. I realised the importance of the research, and it gave me more drive to find a solution. Ultimately, I have developed a process that eliminates water use within the sector I operate. It is fully developed and tested on multiple projects varying in scope. The Patent was granted late last year. To give some guide to the amount of water our process can save, with the carbon footprint reduced to zero: My industry applies for a water licence discharge (effluent Licence) on every project within the UK. We as a company have ten teams. Using the traditional industry-standard method, one group would use 90,000 litres of fresh mains water a day, discharging the same amount to foul drain. We conservatively estimate there are 1,000 teams across the UK, which equates to 90,000,000 tonnes of water wasted per day. This water must be supplied and then treated as wastewater. We also have limitations when the waste treatment plant is nearly at total capacity. My process has eliminated water use whilst still complying with BSRIA. To put into context on one project, our process saved 500,000,000 litres of water (Battersea Power Station- largest construction site in Europe). The process has other advantages such as allowing the phasing of works, greater controllability, it is also quicker. We would like the opportunity to discuss it further if it is of interest?
