New Jersey legionella compliance has taken a major step to reduce Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks with the passage of P.L. 2024, c.66. This legislation targets sources of Legionella—from cooling towers and whirlpools to potable water systems—and mandates stricter water management programs.
New Jersey’s robust industrial landscape and dense population make water treatment a critical concern for businesses and municipalities alike. From manufacturing plants to commercial facilities, proper chemical treatments help maintain water quality, reduce the risk of health hazards like Legionella, and comply with strict local regulations. In this blog, we’ll explore why water treatment chemicals in New Jersey are essential, how to select the right solutions, and the key compliance guidelines you must follow.
Learn how to optimize end of year budget planning for water treatment with strategies that reduce costs and enhance efficiency. Explore tailored solutions for equipment upgrades, compliance testing, and operational improvements to meet financial goals while maintaining high water quality standards.
Point of use filters are a vital tool in modern water safety, especially when it comes to protecting against Legionella—a waterborne pathogen that poses serious health risks. For those in Ohio, point of use filters in Ohio offer localized solutions designed to remove contaminants where water is consumed.
As part of the new regulations set to take effect on July 12, 2024, Ohio Residential Care Facilities (RCFs) must now implement a mandatory water management program designed to manage the risk of waterborne pathogens, including Legionella. This update is outlined in Rule 3701-16-12, Section D of the Ohio Administrative Code.
In the world of water chemistry, alkalinity often plays a crucial, yet somewhat unnoticed, role. It’s not a specific molecule but rather a measure of a water body’s ability to neutralize acids and resist changes in pH. It acts like a buffer, ensuring a stable environment infrastructure.
Corrosion inhibitor for water: Protecting metal infrastructure from the relentless assault of corrosion is crucial in various industries. Water, often the culprit, can accelerate this process, leading to costly repairs and safety concerns. Thankfully, corrosion inhibitors stand as the first line of defense, safeguarding metal surfaces in water systems.
Wastewater pretreatment is a crucial step that industries take to remove harmful pollutants from their wastewater before it reaches municipal treatment plants.
Sludge is a semi-solid mix of organic and inorganic materials that settles during water treatment. While not harmful initially, untreated sludge can harbor pathogens, pollute waterways, and create unpleasant odors. It's made up of everything from dead microorganisms and discarded food particles to bits of paper and chemicals
Discover how fluorescence aids in dosing Tagged Polymers for cooling towers. Learn why precise detection prevents scale and fouling, improving efficiency and lowering costs.
Legionella sample results, ranging from "non-detectable" to "high," play a pivotal role in gauging the extent of Legionella growth, a key factor in the chain leading to Legionnaires' disease. The ultimate objective is to curtail the potential for bacterial amplification. While achieving 100% non-detectable samples may not be imperative, understanding and interpreting these levels are paramount.

Learn how a proper dry lay-up prevents corrosion and bacterial growth in cooling towers during extended shutdowns. Discover key steps for protecting your investment and ensuring a smooth restart.
Oxygen in boiler feed water can cause a number of problems, including corrosion, pitting, and scaling. This can lead to reduced efficiency, increased downtime, and costly repairs.
Discover the importance of boiler maintenance, from daily checks to annual professional inspections. Keep your boiler running safely, reduce energy costs, and prolong its lifespan.
Learn how often to flush your boiler, why it matters, and signs it’s time. Follow these steps or call a pro to keep your system clean, safe, and running efficiently.
Concrete and washout water are two of the most common types of waste generated on construction sites. Concrete can also be a significant source of pollution if it is not disposed of properly. Washout water is the water that is used to clean concrete tools and equipment, and it can contain a variety of pollutants, including cement, sand, and other debris. Learn how to treat both today.
Industrial wastewater is the water that is used in industrial processes and then discharged. It can contain a variety of pollutants, such as chemicals, metals, and organic matter. However, with proper treatment, industrial wastewater can be reused for a variety of purposes.
Wastewater is the water that has been used in homes and businesses, and it contains a wide range of pollutants, including chemicals. Learn about them in this article by ChemREADY.
Cooling towers are one of the most common places where Legionella can grow, as they provide the warm, moist environment that the bacteria needs to thrive. There are a number of different treatments that can be used to control Legionella in cooling tower water covered in our article.
Cooling towers are used to cool water for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. The water in cooling towers can become contaminated with minerals, bacteria, and algae, which can lead to scaling, corrosion, and the growth of Legionella bacteria. Cooling tower water treatment companies offer a variety of services to help prevent these problems.
Industrial effluent is wastewater that is produced by industries as an undesirable by-product. It can contain a variety of pollutants, including organic matter, inorganic compounds, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals. Industrial effluent treatment is important to protect the environment and public health.
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) produce a variety of odors, including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), mercaptans, ammonia, and amines. These odors can be unpleasant and even harmful to human health. Wastewater odor control is important to protect public health and the environment.
