Contactless separation and concentration of Legionella species in drinking water installations
Description
Legionella are harmful bacteria that can live in building water installations. An “at line” system is proposed that monitors the Legionella content of the water. The system fits to a water installation and consists of an acoustofluidic device that concentrates the bacteria.
