Bacteria Eradication
Bacteria Eradication
About Legionella Pneumophila:
Legionella bacteria are found in every possible water source, with the best conditions for growth prevailing in hot water systems.
Traditional treatment against Legionella is based on chlorine dioxide dosing, which is dangerous, expensive and corrosive.
Conventional chemical treatment:
Traditional treatment against Legionella, is based on chlorine dioxide dosing.
Chemical dosing, however, has its deficiencies:
- It’s expensive
- It causes corrosion
- It’s dangerous – special storage and supervision conditions are required
- Maintenance is frequent and continuous
- Its polluting
LPB – How Does It Work?
The LPB system operates using a reaction tank containing patented titanium and nickel oxide anodes. A direct electric current is passed through the anodes generating a controlled amount of chlorine dioxide.
The Cl02 is continuously monitored and injected into the hot and cold water systems’ main supply line to ensure >0.2ppm in the main return line.
The current automatically adjusts to meet predetermined programmed Cl02 levels, ensuring uninterrupted and effective treatment.
In addition to the electrochemical disinfection process, the LPB systems precipitate some of the scale present in the water, thereby diminishing the bacteria’s natural breeding ground.
Advantages:
Patented and innovative treatment which tackles both the bacteria itself and its breeding ground.- Chemical free, safe and ecological.
- Reliable for uninterrupted disinfection.
- Cost effective
- Does not cause corrosion.
- Low operational and maintenance requirements.
- Long equipment lifetime.
The Problem
The LP’s breeding ground are water systems, both natural and manmade. In natural water systems, its concentration is low and the risk is minimal. In manmade systems – including hot water systems the risk of infection is increased greatly. The LP bacteria is very resilient, reproduces at temperatures of 20°C to 45°C and can survive in water with temperatures of up to 70°C. The bacteria can result in severe, often fatal, pneumonia to which the elderly, young children, smokers, alcoholics and those with a damaged immune system are particularly susceptible
The Solution
Elgressy`s solution facilitates the automatic control and eradication of microorganisms in hot water systems based on an elecro-chemical process which reduces significantly the sediment and scale within the hot water system. Prevention of scale buildup and precipitation assists in the prevention of LP bacteria growth and also corrosion. The solution is chemical free and environmentally safe.
Benefits
- Chemically Free Water Treatment
- Removes Harmful Bacteria and Health Dangers
- Prevents LP Bacteria Re-growth
- Efficient Operation and Longer Lifespan
- Lower Operation Costs
