AZ Oostende

AZ Oostende, a leading hospital in Belgium, is renowned for its commitment to delivering exceptional healthcare services. The hospital prioritizes patient well-being and continually strives to create a safe and healthy environment for all.

Maintaining a legionella-free water system is critical for any hospital, and AZ Oostende is no exception. Legionella bacteria pose a serious health risk, and preventing their growth within the hospital’s water infrastructure is a top priority. Additionally, rising energy costs and a focus on ecological sustainability have motivated AZ Oostende to explore solutions that reduce energy consumption.

Proactive and Reliable Legionella Control System

AZ Oostende sought a dual approach. Their primary goal was to implement a proactive and reliable legionella control system to ensure patient safety. Secondly, they aimed to achieve significant energy savings by lowering the temperature of the hospital’s hot water system.

To tackle these challenges, AZ Oostende partnered with Holland Water, a leader in innovative water treatment solutions. Holland Water recommended the installation of the HW Bifipro® system. This advanced technology uses copper and silver ionization, a proven method that continuously combats the growth of legionella within the water system.

Demonstrably Improved Water Safety

The implementation of HW Bifipro® has demonstrably improved water safety at AZ Oostende. The hospital can now confidently ensure a safe environment, with patient well-being as the top priority. Furthermore, by lowering the temperature of the hot water, AZ Oostende has achieved substantial energy savings. This translates into significant cost savings for the hospital, contributing to its overall sustainability goals.

Holland Water's team provided comprehensive support throughout the entire process, from initial planning and installation to ongoing maintenance. This ensured a smooth implementation and a successful outcome for AZ Oostende.
