Calcium Hydroxapatite for the removal of heavy metals and fluoride
Calcium Hydroxyapatite for heavy metals and fluoride removal from potable and waste water. Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring form of the mineral calcium apatite—calcium, phosphorous, and oxygen—that grows in hexagonal crystals. Hydroxyapatite is the main mineral of which tooth enamel and dentine are composed off, as well as bones .Calcium Hydroxyapatite has the formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH), […]

Managing Legionella Risk in Biofilm
Managing Legionella Risk in Biofilm Only 10% of Legionella bacteria can be found in free-flowing water within water systems. the other 90% is found in biofilm. However, most methods of Legionella testing look for bacteria where it is least prevalent, in free-flowing water. If left undetected and untreated, small pieces of biofilm can break away […]
Hydrosense Rapid Legionella Testing
The importance of in situ Legionella testing is becoming increasingly more relevant for all medical facilities and nursing homes. Traditional laboratory testing can deliver inaccurate results not to mention long delays before the results are known . Rapid Legionella testing can mitigate those risks and obtaining the results within half an hour enabling staff to […]
Rainwater Harvesting and Filtration
Many Australians rely on rainwater as their water supply for their daily needs. The general public perception is that rainwater is safe to drink. In most areas of Australia, the risk of illness arising from consumption is relatively low, providing it is visually clear, has little taste or smell and, importantly, the storage and collection […]
Citric Acid Uses
Citric acid is a weak organic acid that is produced as a white crystalline powder. It is a natural food preservative that is also used to add an acidic, or sour taste to foods and soft drinks. In biochemistry, it is important as an intermediate in the Krebs (citric acid) cycle and therefore occurs in […]
