ISO 7899-2 Enterococci Test in Boiler Water
The presence of enterococci bacteria in boiler water can lead to significant issues, including scaling, corrosion, and biofilm formation. This can ultimately result in reduced heat transfer efficiency, increased energy costs, and potential risk of Legionella contamination if the water is used for cooling purposes.
Our ISO 7899-2 Enterococci Test provides a robust solution to monitor these bacteria levels. Utilizing advanced microbiological techniques, this test ensures accurate detection and quantification of enterococci in boiler systems, allowing for proactive maintenance and compliance with industry standards. This service is particularly crucial for facilities operating within the water and wastewater sector where high-quality water treatment practices are paramount.
During the testing process, we follow a stringent protocol to ensure precision and reliability. Specimen preparation involves the collection of representative samples from various points in the boiler system. These samples are then analyzed using selective media that specifically targets enterococci species. The identification is further confirmed through biochemical tests and DNA sequencing.
The results provide detailed information about the presence, concentration, and strain diversity of enterococci in the water. This data is vital for understanding potential risks and implementing targeted mitigation strategies. Compliance with ISO 7899-2 ensures that our testing meets international standards, thereby enhancing credibility and trust.
We offer a range of services beyond just detection; we also provide recommendations on best practices to minimize enterococci growth in boiler systems. This includes advice on water treatment chemicals, system design improvements, and operational procedures. Our team works closely with facility managers to ensure that these recommendations are actionable and tailored to the specific needs of their operations.
Applied Standards
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| ISO 7899-2:2015 | Method for the enumeration of enterococci in water and effluents by means of a multiple tube fermentation method. |
| EN ISO 6579:2013 | Water quality - Determination of faecal coliforms, Escherichia coli, and enterococci in water by membrane filtration and subsequent incubation. |
The use of these internationally recognized standards ensures that our testing methods are consistent with global best practices. This not only enhances the reliability of our results but also facilitates easier comparison with other laboratories around the world.
