Biofilms are inevitable and are a latent health and water hygiene hazard. Water pipelines in large buildings often exhibit the onset of biofilms after just a few days. Bacteria can form even during the constructing phase if for example no particular protective measures are taken for the storage and assembly of potable water pipes.
Low flow rates, dead pipes, ambient temperatures around 35-45°C and rough surfaces are ideal conditions for pathogenic micro-organisms such as legionella and pseudomonas.
Microorganisms can only be kept in check with specialist chemical cleaning and disinfection before startup followed by regular disinfection of the pipeline system. Either preventively or in acute cases: korinexan® industrial services offers qualified and certified remedies.
Similar danger areas include air conditioning systems, cooling towers, decorative fountains or emergency and eye showers and many more.
