Water Hygiene & Legionella Risk Assesssments for industrial water treatment

  • Why industrial water treatment is important

    The range of industrial water treatment processes carried out by our team at H2O Hygiene helps maintain your system’s water quality. Poor water quality can have damaging consequences for users, local ecosystems and the surrounding sewer network. Certain risks include the growth of harmful bacteria such as Legionella, which can cause disastrous health consequences in the form of Legionnaires’ disease. Additionally, our industrial water treatment solutions act as a cost-effective preventative service that ensures risks of system failures, as a result of corrosion and damage to pipework, cooling towers and water tanks, are drastically mitigated.

  • Our industrial water treatment solutions

    We provide a range of water treatment services for industrial systems to get them in the best and safest condition possible.

    • Water risk assessments – we perform this legal obligation for industrial water systems to assess risks and hazards, including bacterial contamination, outdated pipes, corrosive damage and incorrect temperature control. We will check all areas of your industrial water system, including all assets from water towers to system pipework, and report any findings.
    • Legionella risk assessments and control – we tackle the risk of Legionella bacteria head on, conducting detailed risk assessments focusing specifically on this form of harmful bacteria. We begin by surveying the water system, evaluating temperatures, identifying potential stagnation points and reviewing equipment condition. We will then review your current control measures and align our recommendations for remedial work.
    • Boiler and cooling tower treatments – part of our industrial water treatment is inspecting boiler systems and cooling towers, followed by cleaning and disinfection.
    • Water hygiene consultancy – if you feel you don’t know where to start with your industrial water treatment, the expert, friendly team at H2O Hygiene is here to steer you in the right direction, taking the time to advise on the best solutions to ensure safety and compliance.

Industrial water treatment FAQs

What is industrial water treatment?

Industrial water treatment refers to the processes used to manage and improve the quality of water used in manufacturing, processing or heating and cooling systems. This includes filtration, chemical dosing, softening and disinfection to prevent scale, corrosion and microbial growth – especially Legionella. H2O Hygiene’s industrial water treatment process helps maintain system efficiency, comply with health and safety regulations and prolong the lifespan of equipment. Proper water treatment ensures water quality is fit for purpose, whether it’s used in boilers, cooling towers, closed-loop systems or direct process applications.

How often should systems be treated?

The frequency of industrial water treatment services depends on the type of system, its usage and regulatory requirements. Cooling towers and evaporative condensers may require weekly monitoring and monthly sampling, while closed systems might only require quarterly monitoring and testing. However, routine servicing, chemical dosing and water quality analysis will identify early signs of scaling, corrosion and Legionella growth. A tailored water treatment schedule – based on best practices and SFG20 guidelines – ensures industrial systems remain compliant, safe and efficient.

What happens if you neglect proper water treatment?

Neglecting proactive industrial water treatment can result in serious legal issues and health and safety consequences. For instance, scale and corrosion can damage pipework and equipment, reducing efficiency and increasing energy consumption. Stagnant or untreated water can promote the growth of harmful Legionella bacteria, posing a serious health risk of Legionnaires’ disease. Additionally, industrial water systems that fall out of compliance with ACoP L8 and other legislation can result in fines, reputational damage and failed audits. Long-term neglect often results in costly repairs, system downtime and avoidable safety risks.
