Ultrafiltratie

Aqua D&S supplies ultrafiltration that is BRL K-14010-1 approved. Ultrafiltration is an alternative technique for legionella prevention and is designed to improve the quality of your tap water and stop mould, bacteria and viruses, while retaining vital minerals.

Ultrafiltration may only be used if a Risk Inventory/Management Plan is in place, drawn up by a BRL 6010 certified organisation, as described in the Water Supply Decree.

It is crucial that all dead pipes are removed from the downstream installation. By installing ultrafiltration as a gatekeeper, you have optimal protection against Legionella in your drinking water installation. Ultrafiltration removes Legionella bacteria and other micro-organisms from your drinking water installation. Ultrafiltration does not add anything to the water, the composition of the water is not changed, and a brief power failure does not affect the functioning of the ultrafiltration system.

The management plan may need to be adjusted to accommodate the flushing operations that must be carried out on a weekly basis. The number of water samples to be taken must also be adjusted, and they must be taken by an accredited laboratory.

The pre-treatment of the downstream installation will be cleaned after the ultrafiltration has been installed in accordance with water worksheets 3.8 as described in our scope ISO
9001:2008. Aqua D&S has a disinfectant that is permitted in accordance with Compliance Article 95.

The ultrafiltration is only suitable for cold and mixed water with a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. To guarantee the functioning of the ultrafiltration, installation and maintenance (integrity test) are carried out annually by Aqua D&S.
