Cooling tower water treatment and management — registered, dosed, monitored, defended.
Comprehensive cooling tower water treatment programmes — biocide dosing, microbiological monitoring, scale and corrosion inhibition, planned cleaning and full Local Authority notification compliance — for industrial, healthcare and commercial cooling plant.
Cooling Tower Water Treatment & Management
Cooling towers are the highest-risk Legionella system the law recognises — which is why they have their own dedicated HSE guidance (HSG274 Part 1) and their own notification regime under the Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992. Get them wrong and you make headlines.
We deliver complete cooling tower management — chemical treatment, microbiological monitoring, weekly inspections, cleaning, Local Authority notification and the documentation that ties it all together.
The chemistry is the easy part. The hard part is the discipline of weekly checks, the discipline of dip slides hitting the lab on time, and the discipline of a six-monthly clean that's photographed, dated and added to the evidence pack — without exception. That's what we sell.
From our Birmingham base we run cooling tower treatment and cleaning across Birmingham and the West Midlands to the weekly discipline HSG274 demands, and extend the service UK-wide.
When you need it
- You operate any evaporative cooling system and need an HSG274-compliant programme
- You're commissioning new cooling plant and need notification + first-fill treatment
- Your tower has a positive Legionella result and you need an immediate response
- Microbiological counts are trending up and you need a biocide review
- The drift eliminator, fill or distribution is past its life and you need a strip-down clean
- You've inherited a tower with no records and need to build a defensible position from zero
What's included as standard.
A typical engagement covers every line below. Where your scope needs more — multi-site rollout, white-label delivery, framework KPIs — we build it on top of this baseline.
Notification & Risk Assessment
Registration of the tower with the Local Authority (form CT1) and a written cooling-tower-specific Legionella risk assessment.
Chemical Treatment Programme
Biocide (oxidising and/or non-oxidising), scale and corrosion inhibitor, biodispersant — dosed continuously or slug-dosed per programme.
Weekly Inspections
Visual condition of pack, distribution, basin and drift eliminators; biocide residual; conductivity; pH; cycles of concentration.
Microbiological Monitoring
Monthly TVC dip slides, quarterly Legionella sampling to BS7592 via UKAS-accredited lab, action levels mapped to HSG274 Pt 1 Table 2.1.
Planned Cleaning
Six-monthly (or per risk assessment) strip-down cleans — pack, eliminators, basin, distribution — with photographic and chemical evidence.
Emergency Response
24-hour response to positive Legionella results, biocide failures or microbiological excursions — thermal/chemical disinfection and root-cause investigation.
