ASHRAE 188 is a standard developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) that outlines a risk management plan for Legionella bacteria and other waterborne pathogens in building water systems.

An overview of what you should know about water treatment systems while working in the water treatment industry.

Fluorescence is a valuable tool in detecting tagged polymers in cooling tower water treatment. The method is rapid, non-destructive, easy to use, and cost-effective, making it a useful tool for monitoring the concentration of tagged polymers to maintain water quality and prevent the growth of microorganisms and corrosion.

Facility managers in charge of water system maintenance to prevent Legionella need an experienced, trusted partner to aid with testing and preventive treatment to keep these systems safe from bacteria, a partner like ChemREADY.

Monochloramine Water Treatment: Legionella are ubiquitous bacteria with a worldwide spread in natural and artificial water environments, able to survive in a range of environmental conditions. Their ability to colonize our artificial water systems represents a serious concern for public health, since they can cause pneumonia and other respiratory illness (collectively referred to as “legionellosis”), especially in susceptible individuals.

Getting a positive Legionella hit in your domestic water system is not the kind of news any healthcare facility wants to hear, but there are steps you can take to mitigate the situation and protect the people on your site.
