What is legionella and why is it a concern in water systems?

Legionella is a type of bacteria that can cause Legionnaires' disease, a severe form of pneumonia. It is a concern in water systems because it thrives in warm, stagnant water and can spread through aerosolised water droplets. Cooling towers, hot water systems and fountains are common places where legionella can grow if not properly maintained.

What roles do filter cloths play in industrial filtration?

Filter cloths are a key component in industrial filtration systems. They act as a barrier to separate solid particles from liquids during the filtration process. The type of cloth used can affect the efficiency of the filtration process, the quality of the filtered product and the rate of flow through the filter.
