TP26-14 Plumbing Design: A Hidden Legionella DefenseLegionella in building water systems can result from multiple, often complex variables. Identifying the true cause(s) of Legionella can be critical for risk minimization and legal defense. Proper plumbing design precedes and may preempt the success of construction, management, maintenance, and treatment. Nonetheless, the plumbing design aspect of the building water system has been historically misunderstood by plumbing design professionals,

It’s difficult to control conventional biofilm treatment (non-oxidizing biocides) because the water treatment supplier must estimate the chemical dose and feed schedule

Accurate and balanced water flow is critical to cooling tower performance and long-term

In the face of extreme drought in certain parts of the southwestern United States

United States is by far greater than any other country in the indus­trialized world

Eliminators are installed in cooling towers to prevent water leakage into the surroundings

and how it can be controlled before and after the tower is assembled

in no particular order

are called for to inform appropriate regulations and disease prevention activities

Examples will be given of cooling tower systems in petroleum refineries utility power stations and air conditioning systems

Not too many years ago when air conditioning installations were pretty well confined to funeral parlors and barber shops and people were wondering if it really paid to air condition an office

while supporting the detection of tower movement or settlement through comparative point cloud analysis

A code to develop standardized test procedures and evaluation techniques also designed to provide a uniform method to compare relative water treatment program performance in a cooling water system
