()– While the contamination of air from large buildings’ cooling towers is not a new problem. However, there is a renewed urgency to address indoor and outdoor air quality in light of the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic.

Cooling towers use local water sources for their cooling process. This can be untreated, or poorly treated and could cause contamination. Not only do bacteria and other contaminants escape into the atmosphere, but they also affect the tower’s efficiency. To make matters worse companies might add chemicals such as chlorine or sulfur dioxide to water to soften minerals and kill bacteria. Some of these chemicals and bacteria can make their way into the air.

Particularly, cooling towers can be used as superspreaders of the potentially deadly Legionella bacteria.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that approximately 84 percent have been tested positive for Legionella bacteria in cooling towers across the United States. In addition, the number of Legionnaires disease cases has nearly quadrupled since 2000.

Reverse Ionizer, LLC’s Plasma Disinfection System, (PDS) is a novel, non-toxic technology that reduces the risk of this deadly disease. It uses high-temperature streamers, ultraviolet radiations, and ozone to lower the impact of airborne bacteria and viruses.

“For decades, people have unknowingly been walking through what is called ‘cooling tower drift,’ which is mostly an unseen street-level cloud of chemicals, bacteria and other potentially harmful water vapor,”Patrick Hughes, CEO Reverse Ionizer.

“The PDS discovery will transform how to manage and operate buildings throughout the globe by providing a continuous treatment that has never been applied to water systems and help mitigate risk of building owners,”He elaborates. “It couldn’t come at a better time, as the novel coronavirus has put a spotlight on the water and air people breathe in public spaces,”He adds.

Reverse Ionizer’s patented, chemical-free technology not only helps control bacteria with an environmentally-friendly PDS system, it also helps companies save money and improve air quality by improving the efficiency of cooling towers.

The Electro-Magnetic Solution uses radiofrequency to continuously soften scaling buildup in cooling towers. This helps companies reduce costs and lower the use of expensive chemical additives.
