societe Superior Reliability for Superior Control!

Assessment of sanitary risks in the various water networks requires measurement of bacterial contamination. Quench-Gone™ Aqueous test kits provide a fast, reliable, and precise means of measuring the total biomass present in any water sample. Feedback is obtained in only five minutes, allowing the identification of critical control points within the installation and the ability to quickly establish and assess the effectiveness of corrective treatments.

Cooling systems (cooling towers) have water circuits which are often prone to develop biomass. Health hazards do exist when Legionella are present in these systems. QGA™ toolkit allows to realize a quick and precise circuits cartography to pilot cooling systems efficiently and optimize biocide dosage.

What if you could...

  1. Improve equipment efficiency
  2. Optimize biocide addition
  3. Eliminate pathogenic organisms

... all with one tool?

Now you can! For cooling systems, LuminUltra supplies Quench-GoneT, a rapid and accurate test kit for measuring the total microorganism population. Quench-GoneT is based on the measurement of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), the energy carrier for all life. Measuring ATP is the "Gold Standard for measuring active microorganisms!"

Using Quench-Gone and Total Control

Quench-Gone can be the first line of defense in a HACCP-based water safety and maintenance strategy for any cooling system. In conjunction with other routinely collected data, Quench-Gone results can become an invaluable component of a continuous improvement program and is an excellent compliment to current monitoring practices, including biocide residual measurements and culture tests. Use Quench-Gone to:

  1. Improve process efficiency
  2. Prevent biological fouling
  3. Reduce health risks (e.g. Legionella)
  4. Monitor biocide effectiveness
  5. Mitigate biological corrosion
  6. Monitor make-up water quality

Why Choose LuminUltra?

Cooling system water is prone to the growth of microorganisms, which can cause loss of efficiency, corrosion, and health hazards. To manage the growth of microorganisms, effective monitoring is required. Quench-Gone is:

Easy: Quench-Gone test kits are easily used by any operator or technician and do not require special sampling techniques. Results are easy to interpret and the equipment is entirely portable!

Fast: A single Quench-Gone test takes under 5 minutes to complete on-site! Having immediate feedback facilitates reliable operation and maintenance on a daily basis. Plus, suspect results can be repeated on the spot!

Economical: By comparison with other microbiological analyses, Quench-Gone has a high value per unit cost! Use Quench-Gone for any sample type, from makeup water to circulating water to deposit samples!

Sensitive: Microbial control is most easily achieved when problems are detected in the early stages of development. Quench-Gone can detect low levels of activity without any incubation requirement!

Superior: Quench-Gone incorporates all of the advantages of LuminUltra’s patent-pending ATP measurement technology over competing products, including the ability to convert instrument light readings (RLU’s) to active organism counts and multiple barriers against inhibition!

All-Inclusive: The total microorganism population can provide protection for the organisms targeted in a disinfection program. Because ATP is present in all microorganisms, Quench-Gone is an ideal general alarm system for detecting microbiological drift in cooling systems!
