Posted on Aug 27, 2026

FT Water Treatment is pleased to have supplied specialist chemical dosing hose for the major upgrade of Eela Water Treatment Works (WTW) in Shetland. The project, being delivered by RSE (Ross-shire Engineering) on behalf of Scottish Water, is a significant investment in the treatment infrastructure serving the local community. As part of the project’s specialist supply chain, FT Water Treatment supplied a significant amount of dual contained flexible pipework for the chemical dosing system in various sizes and materials.

A major water treatment

Eela Water Treatment Works, located near Ollaberry on the Shetland mainland, was originally constructed in 1978 and supplies drinking water to approximately 5,400 people, as well as the Sullom Voe Oil Terminal. The upgrade is designed to improve water quality, increase treatment capacity and provide a resilient long-term solution for the local water supply.

FT Water Treatment’s involvement

FT Water Treatment supplied dual contained chemical dosing hose as part of the new treatment system. A total of over 2600 metres of hose was supplied for the project, transporting chemicals such as Sodium Hypochlorite, Sodium Hydroxide and Orthophosphoric Acid.

Designed for demanding water treatment applications

FT Water Treatment’s chemical dosing hose systems are designed for use across a wide range of water and wastewater treatment applications. Depending on the product selected, systems can provide features including dual containment, chemical resistance and integrated leak detection, helping operators manage the risks associated with chemical dosing.
