‘Leading the energy transition’
E.ON says it is ‘leading the energy transition – providing smart, sustainable, and personalised solutions for customers at home, in business, and across entire towns and cities’. The business said: “As part of the
E.ON Group, we’re one of the world’s foremost energy companies. We make sure everything we do is focused on our customers, helping them with the major changes that are happening today, and creating a new energy world that is decentralised, green, and interconnected.
“We’ve been a driving force behind the UK’s renewable revolution for over 25 years, and – as the UK’s largest electricity supplier – we provide all our customers’ homes with electricity backed by 100% renewable sources as standard, and at no extra cost. E.ON also offers a wide range of efficient and smart technologies to help customers at home or in business to reduce their impact on the planet by using less energy, and even generating and storing it themselves.”
Reducing hospital ED pressures
Emergency Department (ED) waiting times have increased in recent years ‘due to a myriad of pressures’.
As well as increased attendances, says architectural practice, Gilling Dod, there has also been the issue of rising emergency admissions, putting a strain on inpatient care, and restricting the flow of patients from ED.
Gilling Dod says it has played a key role in delivering ‘ED’ projects for NHS Trusts nationwide. It said: “The new Great Western Hospitals NHSFT
Swindon Integrated Front Door, and the new Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHSFT Emergency Village, are two projects that serve as great examples of this. At Blackpool we will provide a new integrated Urgent Treatment Centre, Same Day Emergency Care Department, and large Rapid Assessment and Treatment ambulance transfer – including an increased number of Majors cubicles. Meanwhile at Swindon we are providing a new Integrated Front Door (IFD) expansion to ED on the back of the successful delivery of the Urgent Treatment Centre. Both schemes ensure patients can be correctly streamed from the front door, treated, assessed, monitored, and returned home, to prevent admission to the wards. The new facilities will not only increase patient throughput through the ED, but also aim to reduce pressures elsewhere in the hospital.”

‘Natural trusted chemistry’ for ongoing corrosion protection
As a ‘leading expert’ in chemical-free systems (electrochemistry), EleXion Water Treatment dubs itself ‘an environmentally focused company providing 100% chemical-free water treatment solutions’.
It said: “Working closely with our German partners, who have over 30 years’ experience offering chemical- free solutions, EleXion provides high-quality equipment and technical advice, and helps ensure installations comply with VDI 2035, Europe’s primary water treatment regime. The standard is approved by many of the world’s leading HVAC manufacturers, and has been incorporated within the latest BSRIA BG 50 guidance for closed loop water treatment, for which we provided technical advice.
“While in the
continuing struggle to prevent
corrosion within heating and cooling systems, chemical additives have long been at the forefront of UK guidance, these do not offer long-term system protection, and may see large volumes of chemicals and contaminated water wasted, and dumped into our water drainage network.
“Worldwide – with greater emphasis on reducing carbon footprint – modern heating and cooling systems operate with reduced flowrates, smaller exchanger surfaces, and component sizing to maximise efficiency. Systems have tighter operating tolerances, and incorrect water treatment can dramatically impact efficiency and operation, ultimately leading to premature equipment or system failure. A major cause of plant and system breakdown is poor water quality and treatment. Our sustainable technologies work using natural science and corrosion protection, without harsh traditional chemicals. We offer solutions that combat scale and sludge, protecting valuable main plant assets, and maintaining performance.”
