DHW / Domestic hot water Domestic hot water is a building or facility hot-water system. It can be relevant in Legionella prevention programs and aerosolization risk control.
Aerosolization Aerosolization is the formation or release of fine droplets that can carry microorganisms from water into air. It is relevant in showers, towers, spas and other installation-risk assessments.
Drinking water Drinking water is water intended for human consumption and subject to sanitary criteria, control and supply requirements under the applicable framework.
Process water Process water is water used within an industrial or food operation as an ingredient, contact water, cleaning water, cooling water, recirculation water or process support.
Reclaimed water Reclaimed water is treated wastewater reused for authorized applications such as agricultural irrigation or other uses defined by regulation.
Wastewater Wastewater is water affected by domestic, industrial or process use before treatment or discharge. It can indicate microbial load, source pressure and treatment needs.
CIP CIP is cleaning in place of industrial lines, equipment or circuits without full disassembly. Rinse or process water may require microbiological control.
Chlorination Chlorination is a disinfection step that uses chlorine compounds to reduce microbial risk. Its effectiveness depends on dose, contact time, water quality and target organisms.
