Cooling towers remove heat from water systems to keep buildings comfortable, but warm water promotes Legionella growth and the potential for legionnaires’ disease. ...
The contemporary world presents complex challenges to water managers. Algal blooms multiply rapidly, expand, and disrupt the natural balance. Nearly every ancient approach is lagging. But a new turn is taking place. Ultrasonic waves are a latest innovative, non-chemical method for controlling algae in ponds, lagoons, and reservoirs. This method is consistent, and it also safeguards aquatic life. ...
Modern water treatment financing model saves more Today’s realities have made managing water and wastewater treatment a complex undertaking. Across industries, manufacturers, food processors, and energy producers face rising costs, operational hurdles, and strict regulations—all while pursuing sustainability. While traditional procurement may be a familiar way to go, choosing an ...
Water traveling from municipal sources to a building’s taps undergoes a complex journey influenced by everything from the quality of the source water to the building’s internal distribution network. Even water that meets national safety standards can encounter challenges as it passes through aging pipes, is affected by shifting climates, and interacts with building infrastructure. ...
Wind Farm Garreg Lwyd Hill wind farm required a rainwater harvesting system and waste water treatment plant to provide welfare services due to the remote location of the wind farm control building. Built by Jones Bros, Ecozi was employed on a supply, installation and commissioning basis for the rainwater harvesting and cess tank waste ...
With their flexibility and scalability, containerized water systems help build water security anywhere With climate change making weather patterns more unpredictable than ever, more and more regions are facing challenges such as water scarcity or water supply disruptions. Containerized ...
As an infection preventionist, ensuring patient safety is a top priority. Access to clean and safe drinking water is crucial throughout patient care, making plumbing a critical component in maintaining a safe healthcare environment. In this blog, we will discuss the importance of plumbing in infection prevention, plumbing equipment associated with increased infection risk, and strategies to ...
What is Legionella? Legionella is a bacterium that causes Legionnaires’ disease and Pontiac fever. It was named after the first known outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in 1976 at an American Legion Convention. Legionnaires’ disease is a severe type of pneumonia. Pontiac fever is a less severe illness that typically resolves without hospitalization. Approximately 90% of ...
Legionella remediations are treatment processes for controlling Legionella in a building water system, generally deployed after routine Legionella testing returns shows systemic positivity or if a case of Legionnaire’s disease is traced back to the facility. Copper-silver ionization is a proven remedial ...
Corrosion is the degradation or deterioration of a material caused by a reaction to its environment. In building plumbing systems, corrosion can occur in our piping systems and water-bearing equipment due to reactions, chemicals, and impurities in the water. These processes result in uniform corrosion, pitting, ...
Encased within a self-produced, slime-like matrix, these microorganisms firmly anchor themselves to a variety of surfaces, from the moist lining of a water pipe to the hard enamel of our teeth. While often associated with wet environments, biofilms can also adapt to less moist conditions, revealing their resilience and versatility. In this article, we’ll explore what ...
This blog delves into systematic approaches for Legionella water testing, offering valuable insights into best practices and recommendations to ensure the safety of your ...
In 2016 while preparing to open a new patient tower, a California hospital found bacteria levels exceeding state and federal EPA limits in the building water system. To address this issue, they deployed multiple rounds of hyperchlorination, which is the process of adding an excessive amount of chlorine to the building ...
After a Northeast university achieved non-detect Legionella levels in their building’s hot water system with a LiquiTech® Copper-Silver Ionization System, they faced a new obstacle when Legionella was detected in the cold water system due to water stagnation caused by ...
It Should Also Be Located In A Well-Ventilated Area. Avoid Building Greenhouses In Low-Lying Areas Surrounded By Buildings Or Forests. Also, Consider Easy Access To Water, And For This, You Can Go For A Small Greenhouse Watering System. ...
The Woolman Research Building has a complex chilled water system and boiler. These have been heavily modified to assist in the heating of and cooling of experiments. Butler Pipe Fitting Services were brought in to decommission parts of the system and balance the remaining system. Butler Pipe Fitting Services ...
A call to the local water supplier can clarify whether the cause is a burst water pipe or a planned or unplanned repair to the public water pipe system. ...
Persistent hurricanes wreaked havoc on water and wastewater infrastructure in 2022. How can we prepare better in 2023? ...
What is a water quality sensor? Water quality sensors measure water parameters such as conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, COD, residual chlorine, turbidity and so on through a variety of methods such as chemical, physical and biological reactions of water, providing data support for researchers, observers and engineers. ...
