sation and operational support, monitor- ing and performance validation, training of local maintenance teams and ongoing technical collaboration with Odyssee Environnement. “We understand the operational re- alities within South African healthcare facilities. Through our local technical teams and service infrastructure, we can provide on-the-ground support, regular monitoring and rapid response,” Golding observes. The project emphasises knowledge transfer and capacity-building, ensuring that local teams are equipped to sustain improvements. G-Chem Aquacare will therefore liaise with hospital technical teams, engineers, facility managers and maintenance staff. Training will focus on the correct op- eration of the monitoring equipment, the interpretation of system data, and the management of the water treatment pro- gramme. In addition, G-Chem Aquacare will provide ongoing technical support through regular site visits, performance reviews and remote monitoring of system data.
onstrates water, energy and environ- mental performance: “Our objective is to establish a replicable model that can be deployed across Africa’s institutional and industrial infrastructure. The goal is to deliver measurable results and enable scalable, sustainable water management solutions,” he says. For Golding, the project reflects G-Chem Aquacare’s ongoing commit- ment to partnering with global technol- ogy leaders: ”We are proud to contribute to a project which not only improves op- erational performance but also supports the broader goals of environmental stewardship and responsible resource management,” he notes. Technical events and workshops hosted in collaboration with universi- ties, energy management specialists and other industry stakeholders will share the project’s objectives, progress and successes. “We already consider G-Chem Aquacare as our strategic partner in South Africa. This project strengthens our collaboration and creates a solid foundation for further joint develop- ment across the public and industrial sectors,” Labeille concludes. https://www.gchem.co.za/
boiler, cooling tower and closed-loop systems. This includes advanced sensors, specialised monitoring equipment and smart metering to demonstrate the tech- nology's full capabilities. The secondary site, Pelonomi hospital in Bloemfontein, will receive a streamlined version with fewer monitoring devices and a simplified equipment set-up. This will demonstrate that while advanced monitoring can enhance performance, significant improvements can still be achieved through the chemistry pro- gramme, particularly by applying the film- forming technology developed by Odyssee Environnement. At the Central/Regional Laundry, the third site, the partners will focus on the laundry steam boiler system, which represents another important area of energy and water consumption within the healthcare sector. G-Chem Aquacarem: the local partner As the local implementation, technical and operational partner, G-Chem Aquacare will play a vital role in the long-term success of the project. Responsibilities include on-site technical implementation of treatment programmes, system optimi-
