Legionella Control

As an employer, under general health and safety law, you have to consider the risks from legionella that may affect your employees or members of the public and take suitable precautions.

Costs associated with legionella control may be significant, however, it has been shown that the costs associated with compromised control strategies can prove to be significantly higher.

Private Water Supplies

Rising energy prices are motivating organisations to undertake reviews of the energy consumption of their building services equipment. The efficient operation of cooling towers can make a massive contribution to the bottom-line of your organisation.

As part of our complete programme for water and air management, Scotmas biocides can ensure cooling water systems operate at maximum efficiency, whilst also providing the best protection from dangerous bacteria, such as legionella, that can colonise and infect a cooling system, possibly ending in tragic events.

Water Features

Escalating demands are being placed on employers, and property owners, to ensure optimum environmental conditions within their buildings. The transmission of respiratory infections in indoor environments represents a major public health concern for which engineering alternatives are limited.

Evidence for the dissemination of respiratory diseases inside buildings, and specifically by ventilation systems, is well known. Scotmas’ Hysan anti-viral products are powerful enough to combat the threat from airborne pathogens.

HVAC - Cooling Towers

Building operators are coming under escalating pressure to use products that have zero negative impacts on the environment. People often shy-away from using environmentally friendly technology for day-to-day cleaning and hygiene; popular belief appears to equate environmentally friendly with expensive, ineffective and uneconomical - Scotmas biotechnology is the antithesis of this popular belief.

Scotmas offers a wide range of products for general housekeeping – our biological products are 100% biodegradable and safe for humans and animals – don’t succumb to popular belief, try these products yourself, they don’t cost the earth.

HVAC - Ductwork Hygiene

Maintenance of kitchen drain lines, grease traps and fat interceptors is often forgotten and left until problems arise, dealing with problems can be particularly difficult for hotels, restaurants, fast-food outlets, canteens, in-fact anywhere there is a hot-kitchen - grease and fats can often build-up to such a level that regular, and often, expensive unblocking and pump-outs are required to maintain the integrity of the drainage system.

However, these problems can easily be avoided. Scotmas biotechnology can be employed to keep drains fully operational, free flowing and free from the causes of unpleasant and persistent foul odours.

Drains Hygiene

Scotmas are world leaders in developing technologies to ensure the purity and safety of your water supply – whether in city suburbs, remote villages or even oil rigs, Scotmas strive to ensure that your water supply is safe, and free from contamination.

Working with water treatment professionals and project managers, Scotmas can advise and supply a number of products for the treatment of private water supplies and stored water, boreholes, secondary disinfection of mains water, building water tank disinfection, and domestic supplies.

General Hygiene

Decorative water features are designed to be aesthetically pleasing; the artistic beauty of many decorative features is often spoilt by poor quality, and often murky-green, water. Clear water is a combination of two factors, adequate filtration and proper water chemistry balance - one without the other will not provide the clear and clean water desired.

Algal blooms can often appear very suddenly, and can move from a blue-green soup like consistency, to a dense bed of algal cells floating on the surface of the water - however, these problems can easily be rectified and preventative measures taken to avoid recurrence.

Hotel and Leisure

The Hospitality Industry aims to provide customers with higher quality experiences whilst reducing operating expenses; customers expect the Industry to be environmentally aware and to ensure its activities reduce negative impacts on the environment. Governmental pressure from climate change is also gathering momentum, and stakeholders expect businesses to make higher returns for their investments.

Existing constraints and traditional practices make it difficult for Hotel and Leisure providers to comply with these demands. Scotmas’ unique and novel approach for problems facing the Hospitality Industry can ensure compliance with these demands is more easily achieved.
