Available straight away on all Kemio Disinfection units, this new test will help support a range of industrial applications, where bromine is used to combat legionella. With a result in only 30 seconds, Kemio provides accurate and traceable bromine results to optimise your disinfection process.
Ideal for users who use more than one disinfection type, Kemio Disinfection enables testing of bromine, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, chlorite and peracetic acid (PAA) on one device.
Kemio creates a fully traceable and auditable dataset, with automatic results logging. All test results are stored in the instrument, with a time/date stamp and the ability to add further information such as operator and location. This data can then be downloaded to a PC by connecting the device through USB.
A truly simple test method, Kemio makes light work of disinfection monitoring ensuring that you can get repeatable, reliable, and accurate results each time. To see how the test works, watch our instructional video here.
Bromine is a sanitiser often used as an alternative to Chlorine due to its effectiveness in water with a high pH. Widely used in industrial applications to combat legionella, bromine is commonly used for cooling towers, boiler waters and wastewater. Bromine is also used in refineries, and in oil and gas applications for enhanced and secondary recovery.
The most effective way to prevent Legionnaires’ disease is to maintain an active and well-managed disinfection procedure. Legionella bacteria thrive in warm water systems, creating a challenge because elevated temperatures are also known to reduce the effectiveness of many common disinfectants. Bromine, however, remains effective at higher temperatures, which is why it is widely used as a control measure against legionella in warm water environments.
Regular testing of your water system plays a vital role in optimising this process. Monitoring bromine levels helps ensure the chemical is being used efficiently, avoiding unnecessary overdosing that could damage equipment or increase operating costs. At the same time, consistent testing confirms that sufficient disinfectant is present to suppress bacterial growth, providing reassurance that the system remains safe and compliant.
Yes, all existing Kemio Disinfection units are now compatible with Bromine. New sensors will be required to perform a Bromine test. Bromine sensors are available in two pack sizes:
