Eradication and Control of Legionella Pneumophila (LP) Bacteria for Hot Water Systems
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
