18-22: Strategies for Reducing Uncertainty in Legionella Analysis ManualThe accuracy and efficacy of Legionella testing is affected by various factors that can increase measurement uncertainty. Such factors include interference from non Legionella organisms, subjective interpretation of test results, and differential performance of agar media, among others. Examples of these effects will be discussed in relation to strategies for minimizing uncertainty. Legiolert, a new culture based method for detection of Legionella

it allows for the reduction of the product used to stabilize phosphorous-based inhibitors and is an environmentally friendly alternative for corrosion control

These tests have been ongoing for several years on sidestreams and actual cooling tower applications

This paper describes the results of laboratory challenges supported by a series of field demonstrations where an innovative filtration technology is applied for the simultaneous removal and suppression of waterborne bacteria and total suspended solids (TSS)

Traditional wet-cooling systems have good efficiency and low cost but high-water consumption

decay resistance

One important aspect of drift performance is the pressure loss characteristic of a drift eliminator and the difference between dry and wet measurements

Hartz Mountain was concerned about water quality issues on their new HVAC system
