University of Sunderland
The Customer
One of England's newest cities, Sunderland has gone through a period of regeneration and renewal, making it an aspiring and dynamic part of the North East. Since gaining city status in 1992, Sunderland hasn’t looked back. Possibly one of the most important symbols of the city's self-belief is the University itself. Sunderland is now officially one of the seven most IT intelligent communities in the world and a recent study rated it one of the UK's top five 'places to do business with'. Shopping and cultural facilities have been greatly expanded and refurbished and the city's Victorian heart is being restored to its former glory for housing, business and leisure. Well over £1billion will go to improve Sunderland's quality of life even more during the next decade.
What we did
A survey of the campus plant showed that whilst the university had water hygiene monitoring under control, the boilers onsite had been neglected. Chemical levels in the boilers were extremely low and subsequently were no longer preventing corrosion. Very low calcium levels within the water also suggested that scale was being deposited in the system. We therefore quoted the University for a quarterly testing and dosing regime to ensure that the boilers were well protected. The contract began in May 2006.
Since then, we have also carried out softener installations and servicing at various campuses within the university.
What we can do for you
Even if you already have your water hygiene under control you could still be missing an important aspect of plant maintenance.
We can carry out a thorough survey of all plant on site to identify if your softeners and boilers are being well maintained.
This is often an area that is neglected which can be costly to repair at a later date.
H2O Chemicals believes that the Key to Control is working together with the staff responsible for the day to day running of the plant. This ensures that the optimum results be achieved.
