Our partnershipsWorking with technology partners is fundamental to our philosophy. The international partnerships that we’ve forged enable us to access the best products, services and technology in sustainable water treatment – boosting both our capability and client benefits.

Rochester Midland Corporation Our key strategic partnership with Rochester Midland Corporation has led to significant benefits for both organisations.

A family-owned business originally founded in 1888, RMC is a global expert in sustainable integrated solutions for water treatment, and a leading manufacturer of specialty chemicals.

RMC's water energy programmes for cooling towers, boilers and other closed loop programmes save energy through improved heat transfer efficiency, by removing existing deposits and preventing future deposits. Their wastewater treatment solutions increase water re-use, decrease solid waste and ensure compliance with wastewater discharge requirements.

Long involved with green initiatives and other sustainable efforts, RMC began to formalise its sustainability efforts in 2010, by publishing its first sustainability report.

GWTS is proud to be part of this international network.

atg UV TechnologyEstablished in 1981, UK-based company atg Ultraviolet (UV) Technology has over 35 years’ experience in UV disinfection/treatment systems. Their solutions have been successfully installed in thousands of applications across a range of industries – from drinking water, oil and gas, industrial, aquatics and marine to food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and aquaculture.

atg’s solutions use UV light operating between 200 and 280 nanometres (nm); commonly known as germicidal UV-C light. UV-C light can protect water against all known species of harmful microorganisms and viruses, by causing irreparable damage to – respectively – their DNA or RNA, rendering them harmless. In particular, UV-C light is a proven and effective barrier for the 17 known chlorine-resistant waterborne microorganisms, including cryptosporidium and giardia.

Considered one of the best disinfection technologies available, UV is now used throughout the world for both primary and secondary disinfection of water in a vast range of industries and applications. By partnering with atg UV Technology, we are able to offer this technology to our clients.

Case studies GWTS ServicesDistrict Cooling: Tower maintenance efficiencies

ChallengeDistrict cooling operators have to ensure high HSE standards at their towers, such as zero legionella contamination. Added pressures are water consumption reduction, increased plant availability, high aesthetic standards and – at the same time – lower operational costs, for example less manpower and fewer chemicals. It isn’t easy to accommodate all these factors.

SolutionGWTS can help. We have provided our innovative approach to a significant number of cooling towers, for several major district cooling plant operators.

We apply foam-pumping technology with specialised Rochester Midland Corporation dispersants: a technique that’s safe, environmentally friendly, clean and fast. The towers are disinfected, and their nozzles, tanks and bases cleaned, with no resulting sludge. The outcome is significantly better than the alternative labour-intensive methods.

Benefits• Cooling tower cells are in commission for longer:

shutdown time is cut from 4 weeks to just 3 days• It takes fewer people: a team of just 10

is needed, compared to the previous 50, reducing costs and safety risks

• Lower environment impact: instead of generating 8 tonnes of sludge per cell, it’s sludge-free

• Cell availability increased from 88% to 99%

GWTS Chemical solutions Heat Exchangers: Removing scale

ChallengeIn heat exchanger fouling – whether it’s with treated sewage effluent water, seawater or regular municipality water with added minerals – high energy costs, tube failures, operational difficulties and corrosion are often challenges. To overcome this, our client was searching for a solution that could be applied with minimum process downtime or negative metallurgical effects, irrespective of the tube material: brass, stainless steel, aluminium and/or titanium.

SolutionWe used ‘green certified’ proven products from Rochester Midland Corporation in a fully automated ‘plug-and-play’ concept, that required minimum connection time. The system offers continuous monitoring, thus giving efficient and cost effective chemical application. Cycle time was reduced to a single shift with the fully closed loop system in operation, maximising plant availability. The results exceeded the client’s expectations. During 2016, more than 100 heat exchangers and condensers were cleaned and re-commissioned using this solution.

Benefits• No metal losses of heat exchanger tubes or plates • Exchangers last longer, with an extended lifecycle • Heat exchanger turnaround timescales are hugely reduced• Quick set-up • Significant cost and manpower savings

GWTS Plant and Equipment solutions Equipment Effluent: Maximising reuse

ChallengeThe ADNOC Group operates several drilling and operational sites in remote desert locations. As water availability is a significant challenge, water recycling is a significant requirement. One such operation is the Mendor Field. Home to approximately 5,000 people and 140km from any water source.

SolutionOur comprehensive integrated water solution addressed operational, personnel and accommodation needs throughout the site’s lifecycle, from initial study through to operations and maintenance. We considered recycling all effluents – from laundry to kitchens, grey water and sewage – applying a ‘zero liquid discharge’ approach. We’re now applying a number of similar concepts, in several diverse places; the EXPO 2020 site, Bee’ah construction site, Major Dates Processing Facility.

Benefits • Capital expenditure recovered in 6 months• Simpler logistics scope, with consequential reduced safety risk• Improved environmental footprint.

GWTS PartnershipsCooling systems: Disinfecting with UV

ChallengeMost forms of power generation depend on turbines, which in turn depend on water-cooling condensers. These condensers provide the ideal temperature and conditions for microbiological contaminants to grow, especially bacteria. Some of these microorganisms present a public health risk, others can corrode systems – but all require controlling. Chemical disinfection, while effective in many cases, is not always the answer.

SolutionGWTS has partnered with atg UV Technology to provide UV light-based disinfection treatment. When exposed to certain wavelengths of UV light, bacteria cannot reproduce, which is ultimately a far more effective disinfecting approach. For example, health risk-carrying microorganisms such as cryptosporidium and mycobacterium are resistant to chlorine chemical treatment, but not to UV light.

Benefits • Entirely chemical-free solution, with no health and

safety or environmental risks• Easy to install and operate: simple chambers are

attached to a cooling system. As water flows through these, it is exposed to UV-C emitting lamps. All a client needs to provide is electrical power

• Cost-effective. A single pass through the chambers suffices, therefore not impacting the operational efficiency of the turbine

based disinfection treatment
