Municipal Water & Waste

As parasites and bacteria evolve, so too does their resistance against traditional methods of treatment and sterilisation. Parasites such as Cryptosporidium, commonly found in lakes and rivers have developed a thick outer shell, making them highly resistant to chemical disinfectants such as chlorine, vastly increasing the risk of infection and illness especially in the young and elderly.

Following major outbreaks of Cryptosporidium in Galway and New York, this parasite is now seen as a major concern for water treatment engineers in the drinking water systems industry.

As regulations become more and more stringent and outbreaks of cryptosporidios are more publicised, the pressure to move away from traditional chlorination practices and introduce more effective modern disinfection methods increases.
