Chessington Decontamination Unit

Naylor Thermachem drainage has been selected to handle the discharge of the chemicals that will be used on site for the cleaning and decontamination processes. During these processes aggressive chemicals such as caustic soda are used at high temperatures to sterilise instruments. Naylor Thermachem will handle the discharge of these chemicals to a storage tank where it can be treated before re-use or safe disposal. Naylor Thermachem drainage provides excellent corrosion resistance to cleaning chemicals used in cleanroom and decontamination applications. Naylor Thermachem also provides excellent resistance to Thermal Shock ensuring pipes will not suffer from cracking due to thermal shock if constantly subjected to high temperature chemical discharges followed by cold water rinsing. Naylor Thermachem pipes will ensure there are no leaks in the pipeline and ensure any aggressive chemicals used are maintained on site and treated accordingly.
