Description:
BioAlert Solutions provides facility owners and managers with a reliable, effective and sustainable solution to the threat of Legionella contamination in their cooling towers and other hot water systems. The company has developed an automated industrial device for detecting legionella in water. This enables continuous monitoring of bacteria levels, which in turn enables facility owners and managers to be proactive in the treatment of their water systems, and to have unrivalled peace of mind in the face of the threat posed by a Legionella epidemic.
Thanks to our technology, our customers are able to limit water discharges linked to excessively high levels of legionella, and they can administer adequate quantities of chemicals in their water, enabling them to make substantial savings and limit their environmental impact.
The project undertaken with SDTC enables the large-scale deployment of our technology, which supports our scientific approach, as we will have access to a quantity and quality of data that we would not otherwise have been able to obtain. This partnership gives us the opportunity to improve our offering and document the economic and environmental impact of our solution.
