  • Our turnkey services include:

    • Civil Works (Civils)

    We manage all groundworks, bases, plinths, concrete pads and builder’s work required for equipment installation.

    • Offloading, Positioning & Heavy Lifting

    We safely offload and move equipment into place, using cranes, forklifts or specialist lifting equipment, ensuring correct positioning with full risk assessment.

    • Removal of Old Equipment

    We decommission and remove redundant or outdated cooling systems, including pipework, electrical supplies, tanks, and associated plant.

    • Skid-Mounted System Options

    To minimise on-site disruption and improve health & safety, we can design and build skid-mounted cooling packages that arrive pre-assembled and pre-tested.

    • Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)

    Conducted prior to delivery, FAT ensures your equipment is fully tested, configured and compliant before it leaves the manufacturer.

    • Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)

    Once installed, we perform site acceptance tests to verify performance, safety and integration with your plant.

    • System Filling & Chemical Treatment

    We fill and pressurise the new system, including water treatment, filtration and glycol where required.

    • 3D Modelling Prior to Build

    To eliminate installation issues, we offer 3D model visualisations that show equipment placement, pipe routes, access zones and plantroom layout before work begins.

Why Proper Commissioning Matters

Many system issues; high running costs, unstable temperatures, poor control response, noise, pump problems, or early equipment failure, can be traced back to inadequate or incomplete commissioning.

Correct commissioning ensures:

  • The system performs to the original design intent

  • Energy efficiency is maximised from day one

  • Correct flow, pressure and temperature profiles

  • Refrigeration circuits operate within safe limits

  • Pumps, valves and controls are correctly balanced

  • Alarms and safety interlocks function properly

  • Chillers respond correctly to load changes

  • The system is stable, safe and reliable

Commissioning isn’t a box-ticking exercise, it’s a highly technical process that determines how well your cooling plant will run for the next 10–15 years.


Our Design Team is On Site for Final Commissioning

To guarantee the system performs exactly as engineered, our design team also attends site during final commissioning.

This ensures:

  • The installed system matches the design

  • Control logic is set correctly

  • Flow and pressure values are confirmed

  • Pump sets and pipe circuits are optimised

  • Temperature targets and safety bands align with design parameters

  • Any final adjustments enhance long-term efficiency

This dual-approach, commissioning engineers + design engineers, ensures your equipment is handed over in perfect working condition.

What Our Commissioning Service Includes

Our full commissioning process covers:

  • System flushing & cleaning

  • Refrigeration performance checks

  • Pump balancing & flow verification

  • Temperature calibration

  • BMS and control strategy configuration

  • Alarm and safety device testing

  • Electrical and mechanical verification

  • Load testing where possible

  • Final system optimisation

  • Comprehensive commissioning report

We do not leave site until the system is running reliably, efficiently, and exactly in line with the intended design.


Why Choose Process Cooling for Commissioning?

  • Four trusted UK commissioning partners

  • High-level engineering expertise

  • Design team attendance for final commissioning

  • Detailed documentation and reporting

Why Water Treatment Is Essential

Cooling systems without proper treatment often experience:

  • Scale on heat exchangers (reducing efficiency)

  • Corrosion inside pipework and chillers

  • Biofilm and bacteria formation

  • Blockages in strainers, pumps and valves

  • Increased energy consumption

  • Unstable system flow rates

  • Higher maintenance costs

  • Shortened equipment life

Even the most advanced cooling system will underperform if the water inside it isn’t correctly managed.


Our Water Treatment Services Include

• Chemical Dosing & Inhibitors

We supply and dose high-quality corrosion inhibitors, scale protectors and biocides specifically designed for cooling system conditions.

• Closed-Loop Protection

We protect your closed-loop chilled water network from corrosion, fouling and microbiological growth — essential for long-term reliability.

• System Cleaning & Flushing

We remove contaminants, sludge and scale from existing systems and restore design performance, perfect before upgrades or plant changes.

• Water Sampling & Laboratory Analysis

We take onsite samples and provide full lab reports, giving you a clear picture of system health and highlighting corrective actions.

• Glycol Supply, Testing & Freeze Protection

We specialise in glycol systems, ensuring correct concentration, cleanliness, compatibility and freeze-point protection.

• Filtration & Side-Stream Filters

We supply and install filtration systems to continuously clean the water as the plant runs.

• Adiabatic Cooler Water Treatment

We protect adiabatic systems from scale, bacteria and drift issues — essential for performance and compliance.

• Microbiological Control

We identify and treat bacteria growth, biofilm formation and conditions that lead to contamination.

Why Good Water Treatment Saves You Money

Poor water quality can reduce cooling efficiency by 10–30%, significantly increasing your energy bill.
By maintaining clean, stable water chemistry, you benefit from:

  • Lower energy consumption

  • Extended equipment lifespan

  • Reduced maintenance visits

  • Fewer breakdowns

  • Improved heat transfer

  • Stable system flow and pressure

Low GWP Refrigerant Strategy

Refrigerant regulations are changing rapidly globally and in the UK. High-GWP refrigerants are being phased down under F-Gas legislation, and new low-GWP alternatives require careful planning.

Our roadmap includes:

  • Assessment of current refrigerant types on site

  • Risk analysis of cost increases, availability, and phase-out timelines

  • Roadmap for transitioning to low GWP refrigerants

  • Options for natural refrigerants where suitable

  • System modification or replacement planning

This prevents future compliance challenges and protects business continuity.


PFAS (Forever Chemicals) Considerations

An increasing number of refrigerants and components are being monitored or restricted due to PFAS regulations. We help you navigate:

  • PFAS-related refrigerant risks

  • Component/material suitability

  • Long-term compliance with environmental legislation

  • Minimising future liability or replacement costs

By addressing PFAS early, your business stays ahead of regulatory change.

Reduce Running Costs — Energy & Maintenance

Cooling systems can be one of the largest contributors to site operating costs. Our roadmap identifies practical, measurable ways to reduce both energy usage and maintenance spend.

Typical improvements include:

  • Pump optimisation

  • Control strategy enhancement

  • Improved flow management

  • Free-cooling integration

  • High-efficiency equipment upgrades

  • Water quality improvements

  • Preventative maintenance strategies

  • Replacement of failing/inefficient components

These changes often deliver fast payback periods and significantly lower lifetime operating costs.

Your roadmap includes a structured plan covering:

  • 1 year: Quick wins, efficiency improvements, immediate risks

  • 3 years: System optimisation, control upgrades, planned replacements

  • 5 years: Refrigerant strategy, major maintenance, technology updates

  • 10 years: Full lifecycle planning, system redesign, future expansion needs

This approach ensures you always know:

  • What needs doing

  • Why it needs doing

  • When it needs doing

  • How much it will cost

  • What benefits it will deliver

Your team receives this plan in a clear, board-ready PowerPoint presentation, allowing simple internal communication and budget planning.

We understand our customers and their requirements. (7)
  • Go Beyond Basic Checks
