Our commitment to deliver game changing products is at the forefront of our creative thinking.
Email An important piece of any cleaning programme is one that can define a new era in drinking water pipeline cleaning across the globe. We can remove the source of discoloured water in Cast Iron or Bitumen lined pipelines, i.e. removing the particulate material that gives you the 'brown water' you see coming out of your tap.
A debris lift gel can capture, retain and remove the particulate matter leaving the pipeline clean plus eliminating any non-compliance issued caused by aggressive cleaning.
The gel can capture, retain and remove the particulate matter leaving the pipeline clean along with eliminating non-compliance after effects caused by aggressive cleaning.
We have proven that regular flushing with clean water is inefficient and that with the use of a gel, the pipeline will remain cleaner for longer, plus significantly reducing the vast volumes of water required in the cleaning process.
The plug and play process for gel injection has been kept as simple as possible allowing for rapid mobilisation and all year round cleaning.
We can work with you to ensure that sufficient data analysis is gathered so you can make the appropriate risk assessments regarding the use of gel in clean water pipelines. The gel is proven to leave no residues.
Based on 'live trials' we know the gel cleaning approach has the following benefits:
Viscous gels are a bespoke product used in removing material's from pipelines. Below is a list of more information about using a gel to clean drinking water pipelines:

Are you looking to reduce energy costs, improve pumping efficiencies and lower the risk of pollution/flooding events to homes and businesses?
Our plug and play system is proven to remove sediments from rising mains within the sewer network.
The problem with rising mains is that they can lose the ability to self-cleanse. In a neglected network there is a built up of sediments thus reducing the pumping capability and the ability to maintain self-cleansing status. This also increases the energy costs and increases the probability of a pollution event.
As you can imagine, there are thousands of pumping stations across the UK and many of them are not deemed to be self-cleansing. It is a known issue within the sector and one that requires attention.
Cleaning a rising main is not easy to do with existing techniques and the use of gel can improve the network by removing debris thus increasing the pipeline bore, reducing the load on the pumps and increasing efficiency plus reducing potential pollution events.
The plug and play process for gel injection has been kept as simple as possible allowing for rapid mobilisation and all year round cleaning. Our set up means we can access remote pumping stations and with low volumes of gel required, we can gain access to the most difficult of pumping stations.
Using gels in sewer network cleaning has many benefits. Each project is assessed before choosing the right gel as each scenario has it's own set of unique parameters. The benefits of using a gel are:
During our testing phase samples were taken for laboratory analysis which included;
Alkalinity,
BOD & COD,
Conductivity,
Ammonium,
Oil & Grease,
pH, &
Sulphide.
No known impact was noted at the treatment works during disposal.

Yorkshire Water and its partners Morrisons Water Services and Intelligent Gels have successfully trialled the use of gel to remove sediments from rising mains.
The trial saw gel inserted into the wastewater network and used existing pumping within the network to push it through 4km of nine-inch sewers to remove sediment and build up in rising mains.
Mark Gregory, project manager at Yorkshire Water, said: "We are always looking at innovative new technologies to help us manage our networks and make them more efficient.
This successful trial removed sediment from a large section of our network, ultimately helping to protect the pumps, extend their life, reduce the likelihood of failures and the associated customer and environmental impact that can have. This is an exciting development and one we’re looking at using further across our network."
