Legionnaires Disease was first discovered and established as a serious health risk in 1976 at an American Legion convention in Philadelphia, at this 221 attendees became sick and 34 eventually died. The disease has actually been around much longer, and is acquired by inhaling mist or vapor carrying the Legionella bacterium into the lungs. Various sources have been attributed to harboring Legionella, including cooling water systems - which is one important reason to have an effective water treatment program in place. Heat Power Engineering provides the expertise to design a program that will minimize Legionella growth and amplification as well as the biofilm that harbors it. HPE also has the capability to perform facility audits to identify risk factors.
