Welcome to Clive Broadbent & Associates
Cooling towers are highly efficient at rejecting heat from industrial and commercial processes such as refrigeration and air conditioning.
However they can present a health hazard to the public as bacteria such as Legionella ( the causative agent for Legionnaires’ disease) can multiply in the cooling system environment.
Clive Broadbent & Associates Pty Ltd are experienced at carrying out Risk Management studies of cooling water systems.
