The series was titled Sydney's Summer of Legionella - Clive speaks and the keynote presentation was delivered by renowned Legionella authority and chair of AS/NZS 3666: Air-handling and water systems of buildings - Microbial control, Clive Broadbent, AM.
The seminars highlighted Sydney's deadly summer and autumn of Legionella earlier this year and touched on some of the key factors that may have contributed to the numerous resultant Legionnaires' disease outbreaks.
HydroChem's resources were stretched by the state government's request for mass CBD cooling tower cleaning in the aftermath, despite in no way being implicated in any of the outbreaks. As NSW Health scrambled to identify the source of the outbreaks, HydroChem's clients saw immediate benefit in the water treatment company's big data application, Clarity. "Over 250 people attended the five seminars," says HydroChem CEO Nick Duncan.
"Clive's presentation was tailor made for an engaged and informed audience and it was an honor for HydroChem to underpin a platform to share these critical messages." HydroChem is an Australian original. Started as a small family business in Melbourne in 1977, the company has grown to employ over 180 people across Australia and continues to expand into the Asia Pacific region.
