In the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, the way we use buildings has changed dramatically. Across the UK and beyond, facilities that were once vibrant and busy offices, schools, universities, and hospitality venues have experienced periods of low or fluctuating occupancy. While this shift has created flexibility and new work patterns, it has also introduced…
As global water scarcity intensifies, desalination has emerged as a critical solution. From drought-prone California to the water-stressed Gulf states, seawater desalination offers a dependable, climate-resilient source of drinking water. While the technology is essential in some regions, the environmental impacts of desalination cannot be ignored. Industry forecasts predict that global desalination capacity will grow…
Oil dominated 20th-century geopolitics because whoever controlled the tap could throttle entire economies; in the 21st century, that tap is increasingly filled with drinking water. From Mosul to Mariupol, deliberate disruptions of dams, pipelines, and treatment plants have demonstrated how a precious substance essential for life can be transformed into a silent weapon. Unlike conventional…
Safeguarding Your Hospitality Brand: The Critical Role of Water Management in Preventing Legionnaires’ Disease Food safety is paramount in the food processing industry, and similarly, guest safety is non-negotiable in hospitality. Maintaining pristine hygiene and rigorously controlling microbial contamination are critical, especially within the complex water systems of hotels and spas. The choice of disinfection…
Food safety is paramount in the food processing industry, where maintaining hygiene and controlling microbial contamination are critical. Disinfection plays a vital role in this process, and choosing the right disinfectant can make a significant difference in efficiency, safety, and product quality. Two commonly used disinfectants in the industry are Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) and Peracetic…
Maintaining clean, safe, and pleasant water conditions is essential for recreational facilities such as swimming pools, spas, water parks, and leisure centres. Poor water quality can lead to health risks, facility downtime, and damage to reputation. Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) offers a modern, effective solution for water treatment in these environments—delivering superior disinfection performance while reducing…
In today’s horticultural industry, growers face increasing pressure to reduce pesticide use while maintaining high-quality, healthy crops. One powerful yet often overlooked strategy is to improve water quality at the source. Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) has emerged as a highly effective tool for keeping irrigation systems pathogen-free, promoting healthier plants, and ultimately reducing the reliance on…
Access to safe drinking water is a critical priority in emergency situations, whether caused by natural disasters, infrastructure failures, or humanitarian crises. Contaminated water sources can lead to the rapid spread of waterborne diseases, further endangering already vulnerable populations. Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) has emerged as an essential solution for emergency water treatment, providing rapid, effective…
Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) is a highly effective and versatile disinfectant, widely used across multiple industries for its superior oxidation properties. Unlike traditional chlorine-based disinfectants, Chlorine Dioxide selectively targets harmful pathogens while leaving fewer harmful by-products. This makes it an ideal solution for water treatment, food processing, healthcare, and industrial sanitation. In this article, we explore…
Safe and clean drinking water is a fundamental necessity for public health. Conventional water disinfection methods, particularly chlorination, have been found to introduce harmful chemical by-products known as trihalomethanes (THMs). A systematic review and meta-analysis published in Environmental Health Perspectives (2025) has highlighted the alarming association between exposure to THMs in drinking water and an…
