Keraflo Installs Tanktronic at Prestigious Government Site
A prestigious government site in the South of England which spans 2,500 acres, and consists of 160 separate buildings, is currently served by approximately 1,500-2,000 cold-water storage tanks across the complete site.
The site continually suffered from biofilms forming on the surface of the tanks, which can quickly develop into an ideal breeding environment for waterborne bacteria, the site approached Keraflo for their expert advice.
A Tanktronic field trial was commissioned, to fully demonstrate the true capabilities of Tanktronic. The site particularly favoured the idea of utilising the calendar function, so they could drop the water level weekly if required to ensure the water in the tank was completely turned over when occupancy was low. Immediately after Tanktronic was installed and commissioned, the biofilm completely disappeared.
The successful installation gave the site the confidence that the water in the tank was continually turned over, to avoid stagnation, it also provided intelligence on the condition of the water. The site now adopts a policy to only clean and chlorinate “when alerted” in addition to adopting the annual clean and chlorinate best practice.
