What is Legionella and Legionnaires’ disease?
Legionella is the bacteria that can cause Legionnaires’ disease. Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia that is dangerous and life threatening to people. Infection is caused by inhaling airborne droplets or particles containing viable Legionella. Legionella bacterium is found in some UK water supplies and certain processes increase the risk of the bacteria developing.

Meet the team – Business Development Manager, Dominique White
Our team is made up of experienced and skilled professionals. To help businesses achieve the water purity and safety they need, we have a dedicated customer team.
The journey to purer water begins by talking to our team about your needs. Our new Business Development Manager, Dominique, will be helping customers do exactly this. She recently joined the team, and to mark the occasion, we spent a few minutes talking to Dominique about her role:
A borehole is a narrow shaft bored in the ground. They are constructed to extract a private water supply for businesses and domestic properties. They range from 50 to 300 metres deep and provide a continuous supply of water from the ground.
It’s the end of a long, tough year and the team has kept us going here at Excel. Although this year has come with a great deal of challenges, work has continued safely throughout the pandemic, providing essential services, and helping customers manufacturer their products.
In the spirit of celebrating our team, we wanted to share some more about the people at Excel. We caught up with Emma Armitage, MD, and asked the rest of the team some questions.
Creating commercial water treatment for manufacturers – the process
The commercial water treatment system a business needs is dependent on the starting water quality. For manufacturers, a water treatment plant needs to produce water that matches the standards required for what’s being produced.
How much space is needed for a water treatment plant?
If it’s become clear your water needs treating, the next step is to investigate the type of system needed. This is done by having a site survey and conducting water testing.
Water testing provides an accurate view of what minerals and bacteria need removing to increase the purity of your water supply. From this, you will find out what kind of water treatment system you need and understand more about the process for treating your water.
Are you looking for a career in specialist engineering, or know someone who is? We have an exciting opportunity for an apprentice Water Treatment Plant Engineer to join our team.
Professional water testing is the first step towards improving the quality of your water. This could be to make borehole water safe for drinking, or to create a supply of purified water for manufacturing processes including the production of consumables.
Whatever the reason, testing your current water supply is the start point.
Commercial water filtration systems supply all kinds of organisations with water. High quality water is required for drinking or within processes, such as cleaning or manufacturing. In the production of goods made with water, such as food and beverages or the production of mouthwash or AD Blue for example, pure water is essential.
