Legionella bacteria, which has the potential to cause Legionnaires’ disease, can thrive in water systems such as cooling towers, hot water tanks, and plumbing fixtures. When aerosolized droplets containing Legionella are inhaled, they can lead to severe respiratory illness, particularly in vulnerable populations.
With water being our most precious resource on earth, the conservation and sustainable management of water resources have never been more critical. Yet, as demands on water continue to rise, innovative solutions are needed to ensure the availability of clean water for future generations. One such solutions gaining worthy attention is rainwater harvesting.
Our water systems are vulnerable to numerous different contaminants that can be potentially hazardous to both our health and our water systems. Metals that infiltrate our water systems can compromise water quality and human health.
Earlier this month, our Technical Director Barry Higgins featured on the Scaling UP! H2O Podcast, hosted by Trace Blackmore. In Barry’s two-part series, himself and Trace discussed the water treatment of steam boilers and uncover what checks a necessary to ensure optimal boiler efficiency.
Stagnant water is most commonly found lurking in dead legs or areas of low flow water and can become a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants.
Steam boilers are one of the most important pieces of equipment in various industries, providing essential power for heating, processing, and generating electricity. The two main steam boiler designs found in Ireland are: fire tube and water tube boilers.
When it comes to industrial processes, steam plays an important role in powering machinery, heating spaces, and facilitating numerous operations. Central to the efficient functioning of steam systems are steam traps – an overlooked, yet crucial components.
Water is a fundamental necessity of life, but what happens when it doesn’t taste quite right? If your water has an unusual or off-putting flavour, you’re not alone.
When it comes to water treatment, efficiency, safety, and sustainability are paramount considerations. As industries and communities strive to optimize their water treatment processes, solid chemicals have emerged as game-changers, offering a myriad of benefits over traditional liquid chemical solutions.
