A watertight treatment regime
Chemical cleaning and flushing is an effective way to ensure biofilm, scale and deposits are removed from water systems so they keep on performing efficiently and effectively for many years to come.

BSRIA BG 29/2012 Pre-Commission cleaning of new pipe work systems
Even brand-new heating systems can be contaminated with greasy residues, welding flux or other debris left over from when they were manufactured or installed. To save yourself problems in the future, a thorough clean and flush will be required before your system is first put into use.
Biofilm Water Treatment & Removal in Commercial Water Systems
Biofilm contamination is a persistent issue within commercial and industrial water systems. Formed by colonies of microorganisms attaching to internal pipework, heat exchangers and cooling equipment, biofilm can reduce heat transfer efficiency, restrict flow and accelerate corrosion. Left untreated, it can contribute to ongoing microbiological fouling and system performance issues.
As part of our chemical cleaning and flushing services, we provide targeted biofilm water treatment and biofilm removal solutions for heating systems, cooling towers and closed loop water systems. Using carefully selected biocides and system-specific cleaning chemistries, our engineers break down established biofilm deposits and restore system performance safely and effectively.
Each treatment programme is tailored to the operational requirements of the site, ensuring compliance with relevant water hygiene standards and industry guidance. Whether supporting facilities managers, water treatment contractors or local authorities, we deliver practical remediation strategies that improve system reliability, efficiency and long-term water quality.
As part of our comprehensive water hygiene services, biofilm treatment forms an important element of ongoing system risk management and compliance. If you suspect biofilm build-up or recurring microbiological contamination, contact our technical team to arrange a system assessment and remediation plan.
Existing systems chemical cleaning and flushing
If your system is older, it may be affected by corrosion or the build-up of scale. This can cause significant reductions in heat transfer and ultimately, how efficiently it’s running. But that can all be treated quickly and efficiently by our highly experienced and well-trained engineers to bring your system back to comply with BSRIA BG 29/2011 & BG 50.
In safe hands
At Dantek, we’ve got all the expertise it takes to handle any chemical cleaning you need for your water systems, including descaling and flushing. All the work we do is guaranteed to meet BS 8558, as well as the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. It also follows our own strict code of practice.
Whether you need a pre-commissioning cleaning service, decontamination of your water systems, or acid descaling of calorifiers or cooling towers, you can trust our engineers to handle it safely for you.
What is biofilm in commercial water systems?
Biofilm is a structured layer of microorganisms that adheres to internal surfaces within pipework, cooling towers and closed loop systems. In commercial and industrial environments, biofilm can reduce system efficiency, accelerate corrosion and contribute to ongoing microbiological contamination if not properly treated.
How is biofilm removed from industrial water systems?
Biofilm is typically removed through controlled chemical cleaning, specialist biocides and system flushing procedures designed to break down and disperse microbial deposits. Treatment programmes are tailored to the system type and level of contamination to restore performance while supporting water hygiene compliance.
