Supplemental Disinfection for Potable Water Systems

In the healthcare industry, managing waterborne pathogens in potable water systems is an integral part of a successful water treatment program. 

ChemTreat has partnered with Sanipur to offer SANIKILL®, a monochloramine-based supplemental disinfection technology for potable water systems. This patented technology offers many benefits over chlorine-based oxidizers and other industry-standard disinfection technologies.

  • Improved waterborne pathogen control
  • Better biofilm penetration
  • No taste or odor problems often associated with chlorine-based disinfectants
  • Lower observed presence of disinfection byproducts

With a lower oxidation potential than chlorine-based alternatives, SANIKILL can be used as a disinfectant for long periods without damaging potable water piping systems. 

This technology provides automated on-site monochloramine production and treatment that can be monitored remotely and reduce handling requirements.

Cooling Treatment for Healthcare Facilities

Cooling treatment is a foundational aspect of our water treatment offering. We thoroughly assess your systems and create programs tailored to your facility’s needs. Our offerings can help your systems run at peak efficiency while extending asset life and reducing water usage.

Our cooling treatment capabilities include:

  • Solutions to inhibit corrosion, scaling, and biofouling
  • SpecOx® specialty oxidants for advanced microbial control
  • Millicide® monochloramine-based treatment for difficult-to-treat recirculating and cooling process waters
  • Cooling tower high-efficiency sand filtration and cleaning services

Smart Release®: The Next Generation of Solid Cooling Treatment Technology

Through our partnership with Dober, ChemTreat offers an alternative to liquid cooling treatment to help you reduce storage requirements and lower greenhouse gas emissions caused by freight shipping.

Benefits of Smart Release over liquid cooling treatment include:

  • Reduced carbon emissions from shipping freight
  • Quick delivery
  • Small footprint for facilities with storage limitations and ergonomic packaging ideal for difficult-to-reach locations
  • Decreased chemical exposure for your personnel
  • Water savings thanks to the elimination of large drums that need to be triple-rinsed

Smart Release comes prefabricated on a stainless-steel frame that is easy to move with a pallet jack or a two-person team.

Feeders come equipped with motorized ball valves for chemical feed control. This allows treatment to be fed at accurate quantities, improving performance and reducing the potential for chemical overfeed or underfeed.

Water Management Plans for Waterborne Pathogens

ChemTreat can help develop a treatment program consistent with Cooling Technology Institute (CTI), American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) guidelines for reducing the risk of Legionellosis and waterborne pathogens in building water systems.

We can assist with meeting the elements of compliance through:

  • Third-party Water Management Plans (WMP)
  • Potable water hyperchlorination and supplemental disinfection
  • Sterilizing-grade Point-of-Use (POU) filter selection
  • Cooling tower cleaning and disinfection
  • Automation and control
  • Online real-time data logging
  • Validation testing
  • Education

ANSI/AAMI ST108: Standard for Water Used for Medical Device Processing

ANSI/AAMI ST108 establishes minimum requirements for water quality and steam purity for processing medical devices intended for patient use. Proper implementation of this standard improves the effectiveness and lifespan of equipment, such as ultrasonic sterilizers, endoscope reprocessors, autoclaves, and local steam generators. Implementing this standard involves a comprehensive process, starting with an assessment of current water quality management practices.
