Chlorine dioxide dosing and microgeneration system.
Legionella, a great danger against which you have a small but powerful ally: Lilliput
The observation of recent cases of Legionnaires' disease in Italian hospitals, and the news of pneumonia caused by Legionella in tourists who stayed in hotels and villages presents a problem for the health service regarding the prevention in communities and hospitals of infections caused by Legionella bacteria. The natural breading ground for Legionella is the environment; from here the germ passes to the artificial ground (water mains, the waterworks of single buildings, hospitals, hotels, barracks, and swimming pools, etc.).
The moderate increase in the temperature of the water, with respect to the natural temperature, represents one of the main factors that favours the growth of the bacteria and environmental contamination. A total and economic defence can be obtained with chlorine dioxide, using equipment that can satisfy the requirements of miniaturization of production and the dosage of the chlorine dioxide. Lilliput can control the waterworks in hospitals, hotels, hospices and rehabilitation centres, and all environments with complex waterworks. Derived from five years of experience in hospitals and hotels with excellent results, Lilliput is the first and only solution to the age-old problem of microgeneration of chlorine dioxide in small and very small utilities. Keeping the water drinkable, Lilliput removes the biofilm, the natural environment for the development of Legionella, maintaining a high level of disinfection even at very low dosages. Lilliput makes it easy to use chlorine dioxide thanks to the immediate installation, simple management and use of the equipment and basic maintenance that can also be done by someone with a minimum of technical know-how. No shock treatments are necessary, but just low dosages so the water remains well within drinkable limits. Keeping the chlorine coverage constant without prejudicing the drinkability of the water, are the main prerogatives of the smallest generator. The combination of the disinfectant properties of chlorine dioxide and the absence of by-products such as Trihalomethane (THM) and chlorite residues, make the Sodi Scientifica generators suitable for applications on even the smallest waterworks, in the place of sodium hypochlorite plants.
