Water is essential in healthcare settings, not just for basic hygiene but also for complex medical procedures and device processing. Recognizing its critical role, the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) has introduced ST108. This standard evolves from its predecessor, AAMI TIR34. This new standard marks a significant advancement in defining water quality parameters, underscoring the integral link between water quality and patient safety.
Learn how to prevent Legionella growth in cooling towers, hot water systems, and more. Discover legionella control, disinfection strategies, and best practices to keep your water systems safe.
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.
