Hospitals & Healthcare

Hospitals cannot switch off cooling or steam. We control microbial growth and biofilm in cooling towers, clean chillers, AHUs and fancoils, descale utility boilers and treat steam boilers, with work scheduled around clinical operations. Applied at Kocaeli, Ankara Etlik, Beyhekim, Silifke and Istanbul Med Live hospitals.

Who we work with: Chief engineer, technical services director, infection control committee, FM contractor.

Hospital building with a cut-away plant room

What you face

  • Cooling towers serving high-occupancy buildings develop scale, biofilm and algae; microbial growth in the tower circuit is a hygiene concern for patients and staff.
  • Fouled AHU coils and fancoils reduce airflow and cooling in patient areas.
  • Scale in utility steam boilers, hot water boilers and heat exchangers reduces output.
  • You need the work done without shutting clinical areas, and documented for the infection control file.

Frequently asked questions

How is microbial growth in hospital cooling towers controlled?

With the NANOSAFE BIOCID microbial and biofilm control programme, combined with NANOSAFE X 400 DC or NANOSAFE X 300 conditioning of the tower water.

How is the work scheduled in an operating hospital?

In phases, around clinical operations. Each system receives a written work record for the infection control file.

Which hospitals has Kuvars Chem worked at?

Kocaeli City Hospital, Ankara Etlik City Hospital, Beyhekim State Hospital, Silifke State Hospital and Istanbul Med Live Hospital.
