The cooling towers are the major source of Legionella bacterium dissemination.
Why? Because the cooling towers have a radius of action of some 500 meters. Legionella becomes a health risk once the bacteria enters a buildings complex plumbing and starts to colonize. This is particularly true in domestic hot water systems where temperature is ideal for colonization and the formation of complex biofilms.
How does it happen?
Legionella start to colonize the cooling tower.
Uncontrolled conditions allow bacteria to proliferate.
Contaminated water drops are spread in the air.
Drops are inhaled by susceptible individuals.
Consideration when choosing disinfectants
Persistence of legionella
Corrosion potential
Toxicity problems

SANIKILL, the monochloramine: the most effective technology against legionella
Field studies demonstrated that just after the first treatment Legionella was drastically reduced. It is completed eradicated in 3 collection point; this means the effectiveness of the monochloramine in the cooling towers.
SANIKILL is the only monochloramine generators that complies with European biocide directive for drinking water and are certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 61&372.
