WHAT IS LEGIONELLA?
The bacterium Legionella pneumophila and related bacteria are common in natural water sources such as rivers, lakes and reservoirs, but usually in low numbers. Unfortunately, given the right conditions, Legionella bacteria can prosper in purpose built water systems in any type of premises.
When water contaminated with Legionella bacteria forms small droplets suspended in the air (aerosol or vapour), there is a very high risk of inhalation and the potential contraction of Legionnaires disease.
HIGH RISK LEGIONELLA AREAS?
Cooling towers, evaporative condensers, spa pools/jacuzzis, hot and cold water systems. Systems that feature outlets like showers are particularly problematic, as water is turned to an aerosol and dispersed into the atmosphere.
Hospitals and nursing homes are higher risk as vulnerability to Legionnaires’ disease increases with age and pre-existing health issues.
BIOFILM
A biofilm is a group of micro-organisms in which cells stick to each other and adhere to a surface. Biofilms provide bacteria a habitat that is the ideal environment for survival and replication. Additionally, the dispersal stage of the biofilm life cycle (illustrated below) enables the spread and colonisation of additional surfaces.
Biofilms can be found where:
- Pipework that contains deposits that could provide a source of nutrient.
- Dead legs and/or low water flow areas exist.
- Water temperature is between °C and °C.
- Water is stored and /or recirculated.
BIOFILM LIFECYCLE:
THE SOLUTION
Our products are truly biodegradable and leaves no residual in the end-product. Post disinfection service, our products degrade into water and oxygen, substances that are found naturally. In addition to the number of environmental benefits provided, the manufacturing process also complies with ISO 9001 .
