The ability and necessary knowledge to deal with the microbiological problems associated with the
use of industrial fluids is an important customer requirement, with this service normally expected to come from the fluid supplier.
The expertise provided by an industry experienced microbiologist can be invaluable; whether as part of an R&D team formulating the next generation of products to meet increasing legislation demands, assisting field staff to solve customer problems, or even investigating microbial spoilage problems by 
performing a Bio-Audit.
Whilst the ideal scenario is to have an experienced expert on your team to cover all technical and scientific aspects, the reality is that this is not practical do to staffing priorities, and the increasing inability to recruit the necessary staff with the relevant expertise to provide not only a full compliment of laboratory skills, but also to act in a consultancy role.
Consultancy Services
Our microbiology expertise covers metalworking fluids, associated functional fluids, and process water, and as such we can offer a range of consultancy services suitable for fluid and additive suppliers, and fluid end users including:
- Technical Assistance – Microbiology related problems that are outside the scope of your field and
laboratory based technical team can be submitted by email - Microbiology Seminars/Training – A range of seminars which can be utilised for customer/staff training or technical conferences. The Seminar topics centre around the content of the Metalworking Fluid Microbiology Handbook
- Routine Site Bio-Audits – The audit can be implemented at the start of a new coolant management contract to provide information on the microbial condition of the plant.
- Investigative Site Bio-Audits – Implemented to identify the causes of continuous microbial contamination
- Legionella Audits – Implemented for water treatment issues, for example aqueous tunnel washers
