Pre-Commission Cleaning of Pipework Systems

Overview

Pre-commission cleaning is the process of bringing a closed heating or cooling system to a satisfactory state for commissioning and ongoing maintenance of water quality.  Pre-commission cleaning is usually achieved through a process of flushing and chemical cleaning (where appropriate), followed by the addition of biocides and inhibitors.

The course will provide a better understanding of the issues and procedures involved with pre-commission cleaning and is aimed at those either involved in pre-commission cleaning or overseeing the process.

It will cover the main principles of pre-commission cleaning, as set out in BSRIA Guide BG 29/2021 Pre-Commission Cleaning of Pipework Systems Amended 6th Edition.  Systems designed and cleaned in accordance with BSRIA's guidance are far less likely to experience operating problems.
