preventative control, strengthening safety, efficiency and long-term resilience.” Delegates learn how to recognise developing
problems, interpret test results and challenge external contractors where necessary, protecting both assets and energy budgets. Deep Water Blue delivers the training at dedicated centres, customer sites and online, providing flexible access for NHS trusts, universities, manufacturing plants and other critical facilities. In fact, recent programmes have seen over 70
personnel complete CEA steam boiler water training through Deep Water Blue, supported by interactive classroom and virtual formats.
Lessons from NHS, education and manufacturing sites
internal chemical treatment help maintain clean heat exchange surfaces and reduce wasted energy. Asset life follows the same pattern: poor pH and
alkalinity control will lead to corrosive conditions if allowed to persist, while effective oxygen control – combining the correct use of oxygen scavengers with mechanical deaeration – prevents pitting corrosion in steam systems. Commenting for Deep Water Blue, senior water
treatment consultant Wendy Liston says: “When operators understand why water chemistry matters, they move from reactive maintenance to confident,
As Wendy explains, delivering steam boiler water treatment training across NHS, education and manufacturing environments has highlighted an important truth. “While operational pressures differ, the fundamental challenges are remarkably similar. Testing is usually taking place, chemical dosing systems are installed and logbooks are being completed, but the underlying “why” is often missing. Engineers may know the target range for TDS or pH, yet feel uncertain about trend analysis, root causes or corrective action.” says Wendy. Where practical training is provided, confidence

increases and management shifts from reactive response to proactive control, with increased efficiency in fuel, water and chemical consumption along with improvements in asset life and safe system operation. This mirrors the CEA’s findings that the vast majority of boiler incidents stem from poor management of boiler water treatment, which makes focused, accredited training essential for duty holders. The course was developed in partnership with the CEA to address this gap and is delivered in plain English so that operators and managers can apply what they learn immediately on site.
Proven training, ongoing support
Having completed the BG04 training course, one NHS Estates Manager commented: “The course covered a lot of information, delivered in concise chunks that were easy to absorb. The structure was clear, logical and effective, and it gave me the confidence to implement new testing techniques and to understand the importance of water treatment as an engineer and not as a chemist.” Another participant from EDF Energy added:
“Very good, very informative. Gave us everything we could want. We learnt a lot.”
