Healthcare Estates
Corrosion protection
Over the past 12 years, Midland Corrosion Services says it has investigated numerous corrosion failures in closed heating and cooling systems in buildings including hospitals and healthcare premises, which it says ‘have resulted in expensive damages, repairs, and widespread disruption’. With this is mind, it now offers a
continuous corrosion monitoring service to keep such systems ‘in tip-top condition at all times’. The company explained: “All important system parameters which influence corrosion will be recorded and relayed to our central facilities via the GPRS network. Our corrosion experts are able to view how a customer’s system conditions are changing over time, on a ‘24/7’ basis, and, with the use of pre-set alarms, can respond to any adverse or emergency circumstances – such as system leaks, pressure drops, or the onset of corrosion – before significant corrosion damage occurs. Parameters monitored include:
Dissolved oxygen levels. Pressure. Make-up water supply. Conductivity. pH. Galvanic current. Crevice corrosion. Temperature.
Aiming for ‘site-wide efficiencies’
Already ‘trusted by over 100 NHS hospitals and 6,100 healthcare facilities worldwide’, Dalkia, ‘the proven leader for reliable energy efficiency projects that guarantee savings on operational costs, and reductions in CO2
’, will show its latest
solutions for reducing carbon emissions and ‘delivering energy security’ for hospitals. By implementing site-wide carbon
management strategies, Dalkia says ‘significant’ cost and carbon reductions are possible, using ‘proven energy-efficient technology’, and best practice optimisation techniques. By combining these with energy awareness campaigns, hospitals can, it says, achieve ‘sustainable carbon reductions’. The company said: “Our extensive resources enable Trusts to benefit from
new energy plant and technology to enhance environmental performance. By integrating the most appropriate heating, electricity, and standby generating systems, backed by energy performance contracting, Dalkia can provide solutions that best match needs utilising the latest developments, including modern CHP systems, and renewable technologies.”
