Virus and bacteria control
Air humidification systems and equipment represent a potential source of transmission of viruses and bacteria, including legionella. By using demineralised water to sterilise equipment, health risks can be negated. Lubron’s water treatment specialists have extensive knowledge of legislation and regulations, understand the challenges, and can specify the appropriate technology to deliver the best performance for every environment.
Demineralised and purified water
Tap water in the UK includes a number of components that have an impact on, for example, conductivity. Quality standards in laboratories and pharmacies are naturally very high, as they are for cleaning equipment in the CSSD (Central Sterile Services Department). With the right water treatment, Lubron provides demineralised water of the highest quality for each specific application.
Energy efficiency – sustainable and environmentally friendly
Improving energy efficiency is key to any organisation, and particularly in healthcare. Heating costs represent a significant share of energy consumption in healthcare. A sustainable building relies on efficient cooling and heating systems. With the correct water treatment, heat transfer can remain optimal for longer, resulting in fiscal savings and a reduced carbon footprint.
Depending on water quality requirements, a number of techniques can be applied in the clinical and healthcare sector.
MEDICAL WATER FILTER SYSTEMS
Humidification (HVAC)
Water purity plays an important role here too, in helping to limit the risk from air and water borne infections. Lubron has invested in the research and development of specially designed units, which deliver the finely controlled humidification, which is so important in providing the right environment in theatres, wards and offices across healthcare facilities.
Water softening
The right water softening solution can eliminate scale deposits in equipment. Additionally, in cooling and boiler systems, the service life and efficiency of equipment can be significantly extended by preventing corrosion and scale deposits.
Water Softening SystemsFiltration
Filtration occurs in nature when rain water passes between many layers of sand and gravel. The gravel and sand act as a filter to collect solid particles and therefore leave the water pure. This process has been adapted in Lubron medical water filter systems to achieve the same effect in industry, and is particularly useful in healthcare, manufacturing and domestic circumstances.
Industrial Water FiltrationDemineralisation
Salts and minerals can be found in pipes and in spring water. In order to treat this issue, water is desalted, a process also referred to as demineralisation, using reverse osmosis (RO). To achieve purified water, the RO water receives a secondary treatment with electro-deionisation (EDI).
Water DemineralisationMicrobiological control
Maintaining compliance with HTM 04-01 is challenging for any healthcare management team. Lubron provides quality solutions that represent long-term reliability and value for money to over 60% of the UK’s hospitals.
