If there is water there is a risk of legionella
WHAT IT IS, WHAT DANGERS IT ENTAILS, WHERE AND HOW IT DEVELOPS
It is an insidious and dangerous bacterium, which leads to infections with a very high mortality rate, between 5% and 10%.
It multiplies and spreads at temperatures between 20 and 60 degrees and reaches people by inhalation of contaminated aerosols.
Its ideal environments are: spa, rivers, lakes and muds, city pipes, water systems, air conditioners, pipes, fountains and swimming pools.
Why Barchemicals
We have been dealing with anti-legionella treatments for over 35 years. Relying on us means solving quickly and in absolute safety.
WHERE WE OPERATE
-
HOT, SANITARY AND DRINKING WATER CIRCUITS
The ideal habitats for the formation of biofilms and the proliferation of legionella.
-
EVAPORATIVE TOWERS
Potentially a great danger to human health, given the great dispersive capacity of aerosols, even over considerable distances.
-
THERMAL WATERS
We preserve its curative efficacy with products that protect the health of users without altering the characteristics of the water.
-
AERAULIC SYSTEMS
If polluted by legionella they are the most difficult to treat. For a decisive treatment it is essential to rely on a specialized company.
HOW WE OPERATE
- Risk assessment.
- Sampling plans.
- Accredited analysis.
- Prevention and Control Plans (Risk Management).
- Ad hoc procedures.
- Training for managers.
- Training including on-site training for maintainers.
- Procedural setup and support for activity logging.
- Periodic review of programs.
- File editing.
