June 2014: St George’s NHS Trust Hospital contract Mach Engineering (ME) to carry out water treatment on their space heating loops.

Bronte and Clare Wing were reported to have heating problems due to sludge and scale impeding water flow. System treatment started in June 2014 using Clean CT-01 that addressing all the problems of scale, fouling, corrosion and bacteria. System flow improved in just 3 months of treatment with filtration with space heating efficiency restored.

Three loops were further commissioned at Fountain Suite, Chest & Breast and Education system each with excellent results.

Since its launch in 2005, Ecobuild has almost doubled in size every year to become the biggest event in the world for sustainable design, construction and the built environment.

Combining a huge product showcase – more than  1,500 suppliers of sustainable and innovative construction products – with an information programme comprising more than 150 conference and seminar sessions, delivered by 750 expert speakers, plus dozens of interactive and educational attractions, Ecobuild is a compelling proposition for exhibitors and visitors alike.

For exhibitors, it’s a trusted source of high quality contacts and access to the most valuable projects across the UK and further afield – Ecobuild 2012 delivered 57,956 senior buyers and business leaders from the building and construction industry.

For visitors, Ecobuild is the industry’s major showcase of sustainable products and materials, an unequalled opportunity to discover new suppliers and contacts.  It’s also the definitive source of information about design and construction, where learning meets practical application, and puts them both alongside suppliers of products and solutions.

 “We estimate that through socially cost-effective investment in energy efficiency we could be saving 196TWh in 2020, equivalent to 22 power stations6,7”.

– Edward Davey Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change

The Energy Efficiency Deployment Office (EEDO) has been set up to drive a step change in energy efficiency.

The Energy Efficiency Strategy is designed to maximize the benefits of existing policy and to realize the wider energy potential across the UK economy. .. (EEDO)

Green Deal: energy saving for your home or business

Energy Hierarchy:

1. Energy Conservation – Save energy.

Insulate homes better

Switching off equipments when not in use

Using Occupancy and day light sensors

Turning down thermostats or wash temperatures

Keeping heating, hot water and cooling pipes free from scale

(Every 0.32mm of scale in the pipes  increases the energy usage by approximately 12 %)

2. Energy Efficiency – Improve energy efficiency

Raising public awareness

Use A-rated energy products

Low energy lighting /LED

District heating systems

3. Renewable, Sustainable Energy supplies

Wind offshore/onshore

PV Array

Micro generation

Tidal Power

Wave Power
