TP22-24: Managing Legionella Using an Innovative Bacterial Control System and Rapid Genetic Legionella Testing Legionnaires' Disease

TP22-24: Managing Legionella Using an Innovative Bacterial Control System and Rapid Genetic Legionella Testing Legionnaires' DiseaseThe greatest challenges for managing the risk of Legionella pneumophila in evaporative cooling water systems have been the lack of effective biocide treatment strategies and the lack of timely Legionella test results. The recent development of an on site, on line, rapid genetic test method for Legionella and an innovative plasma disinfection system (PDS) allows control of the population of all planktonic and sessile bacteria, including Legionella,

Molybdate exhibits comparatively low aquatic toxicity and was therefore apart of the EPA's rationale for limiting chromate use in comfort cooling towers

This may have a significant impact upon the benefits and requirements of existing reuse applications and/or make the previously less attractive projects worth reconsidering

Two different solutions are proposed and compared with standard solution and the results of comprehensive tests on a large fan are reported

Traditional methods add to the initial costs through the need for draining
