Chemical Dosing Systems

UV disinfection is a physical water treatment method that uses UV-C light to neutralise microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and parasites. The lack of chemicals makes it an environmentally friendly approach to water purification.

Our experts in UV disinfection and our rigorous approach to quality control have made us a market leader in the UK, and we tailor each solution to the water source and distribution system.

Our pH correction process precisely controls the acidity or alkalinity of water. We use advanced chemical dosing systems to ensure water remains within the required range, tailoring each solution to the water source and distribution system. Environmental protection is always at the forefront.

Our team of experts excel in the science of pH correction and have a long track record of successful projects. We invest in pH correction research and development, and continuously adapt to evolving regulations. This is why we’re the go-to choice for water authorities across the UK.

Coagulation and flocculation are fundamental in providing safe drinking water. They remove impurities and suspended particles from the water supply.

Our proven solutions make us the go-to experts in this area. We:

• Use carefully selected coagulants to ensure market-leading purification
• Adapt to evolving regulations and environmental concerns, giving clients peace of mind
• Deliver excellence always, ensuring communities have access to the cleanest, safest and most sustainable drinking water

Fluoridation is the process of adjusting the fluoride content in drinking water. It’s considered one of the most effective public health interventions for widespread oral health.

Adding fluoride, typically in the form of sodium fluoride, fluorosilicic acid or sodium fluorosilicate, helps prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel and boosting resilience against acid erosion caused by bacteria. Public health authorities regulate the concentration of fluoride to ensure it provides dental benefits with minimal risk.

Plumbosolvency is when lead dissolves under certain conditions – that’s either soft water (low mineral content) or acidic environments. It typically occurs in old pipes in domestic properties, lead service lines or solder used to join copper pipes. Treatment is essential for water contaminated with lead, as high levels can pose a threat to public health.

Water treatment chemical dosing solutions include pH adjustment, alkalinity control and phosphate dosing to form a protective layer inside pipes and prevent lead dissolving.

Threat of damage and blockages to infrastructure make corrosion inhibition and scale control a major focus of many water treatment chemical dosing solutions.

• Corrosion occurs when water passes over metal infrastructure and reacts with surfaces to initiate gradual wear and tear. It can lead to leaks and metals entering the water.
• Scale forms from the buildup of minerals, typically calcium and magnesium, which can lead to inefficiencies in water flow and heat transfer.

Common solutions include pH regulation, water remineralisation and phosphate dosing to protect infrastructure.

Adding chlorine to water typically helps to disinfect and kill harmful bacteria. In certain circumstances, however, it needs to be removed. Common reasons include: risk to aquatic life, changes in water taste or smell, and interference with industrial processes.

Adding chemicals is the most efficient way to dechlorinate water. Sodium bisulphate and sulphur dioxide, for example, neutralise chlorine and allow harmless chlorine ions to be discharged.

Reverse osmosis, distillation and deionisation all produce very pure water. In some instances, this can be unstable, slightly corrosive, lacking in taste and unable to meet drinking standards.

Remineralisation helps to tackle this, typically through the addition of calcium, potassium and magnesium. It makes water more compliant, stable and pleasant to drink.

Phosphorus in wastewater is a key cause of eutrophication, i.e. the over-enrichment of lakes and other surface waters from mineral and organic nutrients. It promotes excessive growth of microscopic algae and plankton, creating a dense algal bloom that strips the water of its oxygen, creating an unhealthy environment for humans and the environment.

Thanks to our track record and our commitment to safety and innovation, we’re trusted by water authorities and industrial customers alike to deliver outstanding results in phosphorus removal.
