Cooling water treatment is required to control the risk of legionella as identified by HSE guideline “Legionnaires’ disease: The control of legionella bacteria in water systems”, where regular maintenance and assessments of cooling water systems will reduce the risk of build-up of corrosion and bio fouling of the system that can occur if untreated.
Legionella and various other harmful bacteria will thrive and breed in such conditions making the water system unsafe to use due to dangerous environmental risks. Additionally, the lifespan of the system will suffer if inadequately maintained.
To minimise the risk of such microbial activity, Enviroliance can offer management and maintenance for your cooling towers in order to operate at maximum efficiency.
