As featured in Waterline Summer 2022 The Authorising Engineer (Water):Questions Which Shape Our Future Needs David Harper, Harper Water Management Group Ltd. www.harperwater.com Drinking water storage and distribution systems have been challenging our health and wellbeing for centuries and the stellar rise of opportunistic waterborne pathogens from this niche man-made environment has been noted since… Read more »
By using the readily available system temperature hot water supply (>60C), the patented ILTDU, In-Line Thermal Disinfection Unit, from Horne Engineering facilitates the only effective thermal disinfection of showers, taps, TMVs, their associated pipe-work feeds, ancillary fittings, mixed water deadleg and terminal outlet fitting. In conjunction with high velocity flushing, which shears excess biofilm from internal pipework surfaces (and represents 95% of the water system’s total bio-load) thus improving water quality, regular operation of the ILTDU further aids the risk-management of retrograde pathogens, e.g. opportunistic Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria and others.
