What’s the Issue?
When will my newly installed or refurbished circuit system require pre-commission cleaning?
How do I know what types of chemical corrosion inhibitors and disinfectants are suitable for my system?
What is your obligation?
BSRIA BG 29/ 2012 states that pre-commissioning cleaning should be undertaken within the following:
- In any new installation of heating and chilled closed water systems.
- In systems showing an indication in corrosion activity.
- In systems showing a deterioration in water quality.
- In systems showing high iron levels.
- In systems subject to alterations or refurbishment works.
- In systems subject to an adverse sample result where a remedial action maybe required, i.e. flushing and dosing.
Risks
If pre-commission cleaning of pipework is not completed successfully, or at all, then the systems efficiency & life expectancy can be seriously compromised. It could also cause you to face unnecessary running costs and replacement of expensive parts if ignored. Microbiological issues could also occur and become a serious problem in the presence of retained debris which can become baked onto the pipe walls and surfaces. After time, this could lead to failure of the fittings and equipment, leakages and system blockages and heat loss.
