Government Organisation Case Study

• Potable cold water supply

• Under capacity building with poor quality incoming mains

• Traditional liquid and dual powder pack chlorine dioxide

treatment & chlorinations were not able to solve the problem

• System shock dosed for 48hrs and chemical maintained at

1.5ppm Cl2

NHS Healthcare Case Study

• Building only 4 years old

• B & V took over in 2008 -site not fully occupied

• Several hundred outlets, with some low/no usage, and low turnover of

water

• Legionella problems from day 1

• Flushing and high temperature pasteurisation did not eliminate the

problem

• Cold – TVCs and Pseudomonas problems

• Hot – Legionella (~1/3), TVC and Pseudomonas problems

The Trial

• Dosing equipment installed by B & V

• Shock dosed for 2 days

• Down to maintenance dose (0.5-1.5ppm Cl2)

• B & V technical team regularly visited for 3 months – chemical

monitoring and samples carried out on 4 CW and 6 HW points

• Quarterly positive outlets added to sampling (total=18)
