Dip slides are identified in the UK’s Health and Safety Executives Approved Code of Practice ACOP L8 which recommends their use for periodic microbiological monitoring of wet cooling systems including cooling towers.
In the UK the Health and Safety Executives ACOP L8 – Approved Code of Practice document titled “Legionnaires’ disease: The control of legionella bacteria in water systems” sets out guidance for legionella risk assessment procedures.
Chlorine dioxide is highly effective when used to clean and disinfect water systems. Water hygiene is concerned with the effective management and disinfection of water to prevent pathogen proliferation, especially in stored water systems.
The use of chlorine dioxide in cooling towers, closed loops and cooling systems greatly assists in the control of Legionella bacteria, algae, planktonic bacteria, biofilm and scale, helping to control the presence of dangerous bacteria and maintain the efficiency of heat exchanger surfaces, reservoir intakes, and ancillary equipment.
