Airedale doesn't buy ELGA deioniser!

Airedale Chemicals in Keighley is a world leader in the manufacture, supply and distribution of dyestuffs, chemical auxiliaries and performance chemicals. The company serves a wide range of industries including textiles, pharmaceuticals, water treatment and aluminium all of whom rely on Airedale's quality control for the purity of their chemicals. The water used in the formulations has to be of the highest quality. "We use a lot of hydrogen peroxide in our blends", says Warehouse Manager Steve Porritt, "and that means we have to be particularly careful about iron and similar contaminants in water."

As is always the case with expanding businesses, Airedale has always had limited space for their water purification systems and, for many years, operated a Permutit Scion, the most compact deioniser on the market. When the Scion showed signs of advancing age, Airedale looked for a replacement. Although ELGA Process Water's top selling deioniser, the Duo Eclipse 150 met all their requirements, Airedale decided not to buy it!

Instead, they took advantage of ELGA Process Water's "All-in-Pack" rental agreement. Airedale simply pays a fixed quarterly payment and ELGA Process Water provides the Duo Eclipse water treatment plant and services it. "It simply made economic sense", says Steve. "It's ELGA Process Water's plant and they know best how to look after it - and all the spares are included."

The All-in-Pack gives ELGA Process Water's customers the ability to adopt the right technical solution without capital budget constraints, and with the security of knowing that the plant will be properly maintained by a fully trained technician.
