ShareA 21-month review of Legionella and standard plate count analyses of cooling tower water.
Author(s) : PINNA G.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The evaluation of cooling tower water contaminated with legionellae using the Legionella/standard plate count ratio in addition to the level of contamination may facilitate a more accurate risk assessment protocol. Further it is noted that maintaining a cooling tower to the Australian Standard AS3666 and the Standards Australia Handbook HB32 alone is not sufficient to guarantee a continued absence of legionellae. It is therefore recommended that monthly legionella analysis and standard plate count be incorporated into the preventative maintenance procedures of cooling tower water systems.
