BSS Industrial Celebrates Success at Derriford Hospital

17 June 2009

BSS Industrial is celebrating after successfully working with Derriford Hospital to save the Institute an estimated £25,000 per annum on energy bills whilst helping to reduce the risk of Legionella.

The leading supplier of pipeline and heating solutions began working with Derriford Hospital in 2003 to replace its existing heating system. By supplying various pumps, plate heat exchangers in addition to gauges and valves from its own-brand BOSS range, BSS Industrial reduced the system’s energy output and created an alarm system to monitor Legionella.

Phil Smith, BSS Industrial Account Manager, said: “Working in a hospital environment means there are many stringent regulations which must be adhered to and often the client has certain objectives which require a tailored solution. By working directly with the hospital we’ve been able to provide an efficient system to monitor and control Legionella whilst cutting energy consumption by 5-7%

“We’ve built a close partnership with Derriford Hospital and have plans to supply a range of controls to maximise the efficiency of the new heating system. There is also a possibility of introducing rainwater harvesting to the site. By making these improvements to the hospital, we hope the whole site will benefit from the money that will be saved whilst helping the fight against Legionella.”

Derriford Hospital worked closely with BSS Plymouth. The branch can be located at Block G, St Modwen Road, Parkway Industrial Estate, Plymouth, PL6 8LH.
