Remote monitoring solutions and secondary disinfection measures are vital in existing and proposed healthcare facilities. As the detection techniques for microorganisms in water systems and environmental sampling improve, it is crucial to implement effective remote monitoring solutions to ensure the safety of patients and staff. Newer techniques such as Maldi-TOF and Rapid PCR (qPCR) can…
Biofilm is a slimy and sticky layer that can be found on various surfaces, including drinking water pipes. It is a complex community of microorganisms that can have harmful effects if not appropriately managed. When biofilm forms in drinking water treatment systems, it can cause problems such as reduced water flow, increased energy consumption, and…
Maximising milk production is a crucial aspect of the dairy industry, and it heavily relies on the quality of water available for the herd. Clean water is essential for the health and well-being of the animals and plays a significant role in the feed conversion rate, milk production, and overall performance. Poor water quality can…
Water treatment is a crucial process that ensures the safety and purity of water for human consumption. Many water treatment methods have been developed with the increasing demand for clean and safe water. Two such methods are Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) and Copper Silver Ionisation, but which method is best suited for your requirements? Chlorine Dioxide…

Scotmas has been at the forefront of developing and manufacturing advanced Chlorine Dioxide generation systems for over 25 years. Chlorine Dioxide is a highly effective disinfectant that has become increasingly popular recently for its ability to kill pathogens without leaving harmful residues. Scotmas provides reliable protection against waterborne pathogens like Legionella and Pseudomonas using advanced…
Is Chlorine Dioxide a better water treatment option than Sodium Hypochlorite? Chlorine is a widely used disinfectant in water treatment processes, and it has been used for many years to help ensure the safety of our drinking water. However, there are different types of Chlorine-based disinfectants, each with advantages and disadvantages. Two of the most…
In water treatment today, two popular chemicals are used to disinfect water: Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) and Chlorine (Cl). While both chemicals effectively kill harmful microorganisms, some key differences make one more suitable for specific applications. For many years, Chlorine has been the most commonly used chemical for water treatment due to its ability to effectively…
Reverse Osmosis is a highly effective water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to filter out impurities and contaminants from water. This process is widely used in industry and communities to provide clean, purified water that is safe for drinking and other uses. The reverse osmosis process is a water purification technology that involves…
Are you struggling with biofouling in your pre or post-reverse osmosis (RO) desalination processes? Biofouling is a common problem that occurs when microorganisms, plants, algae, or animals accumulate on the surface of the RO membrane, impeding water flow and reducing the efficiency of the process. Biofouling can lead to increased maintenance costs, decreased productivity, and…
