1. Marine Biofouling Expertise

   WES continue to work within the marine sector / environment, specifically marine biofouling. We supply electrochlorination equipment to a number of clients and have experience and expertise in the supply of shipside and dockside systems for chlorination systems and systems for the treatment of Copper Nickel pipework and coolers. (passivation / conditioning / \"Burning in\")

   Copper Nickel (CuNi) sea water cooling systems are increasingly prone to corrosion due to a number of factors, but the main one often being a lack of good quality sea water in basins and docks, this greatly increases the risk of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC)

   WES have many years experience of the treatment of MIC.

   Please contact sean.ashton@wes.ltd.uk for more information.

2. WES Odour and Septicity control

   WES have supported the UK water companies for a number of years in the reduction of sulphides which create the \\\"bad egg\\\" smell by dosing various forms of nitrate chemicals. These nitrates provide an oxygen source for the odour (sulphide) creating bacteria which they consume preferentially, leaving wet wells and rising mains free from Hydrogen sulphide.

   WES have installed many systems over the years and continue to develop new ways of optimising chemical consumption whilst minimising Hydrogen sulphide production.

   We have a huge amount of experience to draw upon and are happy to discuss systems and solutions, please email sales@wes.ltd.uk

3. Exhibitions in 2012

   Thanks to everyone who attended the exhibition at Exeter and came along to our stand for information or just a general chat. We enjoyed the day and it was good to see faces - new and old... Many Thanks

   Sean, Tosh and Mike.

    

   Following the success of Exhibitions (PSE) in 2011 at Newport and Exeter, this year WES plan to expand the number of exhibitions to include Peterborough, Exeter and Birmingham. These are less formal and smaller than some of the national events and mean we can get a chance to listen to customer feedback and also give advice if needed and demonstrate and show new products.

    For information and dates on the WES exhibitions and other PSE events please visit www.pse.co.uk

   We will be exibiting at Exeter on 13th September, Peterborough 11th October, Bradford 8th November.

4. London Games 2012

   

   WES have supported the London Games by providing chemical dosing systems to assist in the oxygenation of the River Leys both during the games and afterwards as a "post games" environmental legacy, as required by the games organisers. Some of the design work was extremely challenging, but working collaboratively with the Environment Agency and their 2012 partners, we are extremely pleased with the outcomes and our contribution.

    WES designed and built and installed a bespoke hydrogen peroxide chemcial dosing system for use on the River Leys in East London.

   The chemcial dosing protects fish stocks and other marine wildlife in times of storm water. High biological oxygen demand (BOD) is prevalent from the nearby large sewage treatment works (high population equivalents - PE) WES provided a system pre- built and pre-tested from our Basingstoke facility this was delivered to site and installed and commissioned in days rather than weeks or even longer.

   The chemical stoarge tank and bunding, as well as the containerised dosing system and the  submerged chemical delievery system allow ease of maintenance and servicing and yet are robust enough to stand the forces encountered in high flow (strom) conditions

   All our partners including the Environment Agency were extremely pleased with the outcomes and we must offer a big thank you to the site team and all those involved with the project!

5. Our New Premises

   Following continued growth and expansion WES have relocated to a larger and a more convenient location.

   Whilst we will all have fond memories of Wildwood WES had outgrown both the production area which was too small and with an expanding number of non production staff we had also outgrown the office and administration space.

    

   

   Rankine Road is only a few miles from "Wildwood" but it offers far greater production space and also allows designated production areas for "products" and "projects". The building was refurbished to provide open plan office space for design, proposal, mechanical and electrical engineers. 

   There are the same excellent transport links to our customers and a more convenient environment for visitors.
