Legionella Abatement
Legionella Abatement
Many drinking water systems suffer from stagnation and erratic flow rates. They are susceptible to microbial contamination, regardless of material, age or design. Old piping systems in particular offer microorganisms sufficient protection and reproduction capabilities within their porous inner surfaces. This enables virulent strains such as Legionellae and Pseudomonae to affect the drinking water to such an extent that it poses a permanent danger to human health.We specialize in large-scale systems and are tested and certified by the VDI, the Association of German Engineers. With our know-how and experience in the fight against microbial contamination in building infrastructure, we are the best choice for:
- Sterilization of in-house piping installations when Legionellae, Pseudomonae and other microbes are present in hospitals, hotels, public facilities, on ships, etc.
- Sanitization of drinking water systems after periods of non-use,
- Creation of procedures for rinsing and other measures,
- Microbiological sampling including report on diagnostic findings for the water,
- Rinsing of drinking water pipes (rinse of in-house network: air and water),
- Silt clearance and sterilization of hot water cisterns,
- Preparation, installation and service of sterilization units (chlorine or sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide),
- Removal of biofilm in coolant systems and in drinking water facilities.
