Commercial Legionella Prevention for Cooling Towers in Burbank

Why Legionella Prevention Matters for Burbank Facilities

Cooling towers can aerosolize water, and if Legionella bacteria are present, the risk of illness rises—especially in dense commercial districts like Burbank. Proactive prevention protects people, safeguards your brand, supports compliance, and limits costly downtime. Our mission is healthy indoor air and water for a healthier life, delivered with engineering discipline and measurable results.

Our Cooling Tower Legionella Prevention Program

We combine water-side science with mechanical best practices to control Legionella risk while optimizing system performance.

• Assessment & Water Management Plan (WMP): Facility walk-through, asset inventory, risk scoring, and a site-specific WMP aligned with ASHRAE 188.
• Monitoring & Testing: Routine on-site checks for temperature, pH, conductivity, and oxidant residuals; Legionella testing (culture or rapid methods) per your policy.
• Chemical Control: Program design and verification for oxidizing/non-oxidizing biocides, scale and corrosion inhibitors, and dispersants—calibrated to load and water chemistry.
• Mechanical Cleaning & Disinfection: Scheduled tower cleanings, basin and fill cleaning, nozzle/descaler service, and system disinfection to reduce biofilm and fouling.
• System Optimization: Drift eliminator inspection, fill media evaluation, bleed and makeup calibration, and recommendations to reduce aerosol risk and water waste.
• Remote Insights: Options for data logging and alarms that make compliance easier and help catch issues early.
• Documentation & Training: Logs, SOPs, and staff guidance so your team can maintain day-to-day control confidently.

Designed for Complex Commercial Systems

We specialize in large and complex projects—multi-tower plants, studios, medical and lab environments, and mixed-use high-rises. Our 4th-generation family of engineers brings 80+ years of engineering experience to every decision, from hydraulics to controls strategy. We are factory-trained by Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China), and we leverage AC PRO–supplied equipment and parts for fast, local availability that keeps your operation on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How often should cooling towers be tested for Legionella?
  Testing frequency depends on your risk profile and policy, but many commercial facilities sample quarterly or more frequently. We’ll tailor a schedule to occupancy, tower load, and history.
• Do you perform both chemical and mechanical controls?
  Yes. Effective prevention requires both: verified chemical programs plus regular mechanical cleaning and targeted upgrades.
• Can you work with our existing vendors or AC PRO–sourced parts?
  Absolutely. We coordinate with your current partners and leverage AC PRO–supplied equipment and parts for fast turnarounds.
• What standards guide your program?
  We align with ASHRAE 188 and CTI best practices and prepare documentation suitable for local public health reviews in Burbank and Los Angeles County.
