Identification

This solution aims to provide a practical and cost-efficient solution to secure cooling towers and hot water systems from legionella contamination. Indeed, the lack of on-site rapid screening tools leads to reactive responses and are not suitable to prevent legionella contamination.

BioAlert is an automated and connected device, installed directly on the water system that allows real-time surveillance and just-in-time intervention to prevent outbreaks. BioAlert is the best management tool that helps reduce associated intervention costs, production downtime and secure the continuity of operations. BioAlert Lp15 unique solution approach of daily monitoring of the water system allows optimization of chemical usage and leads to strong cost and environmental impact reduction. BioAlert is also a safety device that confirms the absence of health risk associated with building operation, leading to making our cities safer and greener.
