Chemical-Free Water Safety for Healthcare Facilities
Hospital water systems face unique and critical challenges-from Legionella prevention in cooling towers to biofilm elimination in hot water distribution. Beringia's AMF Nano Technology provides chemical-free microbial control that protects patients, staff, and visitors while simplifying regulatory compliance. Already deployed at Ascension Health, the largest faith-based hospital group in the United States, our systems deliver measurable results in the most demanding healthcare environments.
Hospital Cooling Tower System - Beringia Water Works
The Challenge
Healthcare facilities must maintain water safety across complex distribution networks-cooling towers, hot water systems, ice machines, decorative fountains, and hydrotherapy pools. Legionella and other waterborne pathogens thrive in biofilm, which chemical treatments often fail to fully eliminate. ASHRAE 188 and CMS requirements demand documented water management programs. Chemical handling creates safety risks for staff and environmental compliance burdens. Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) from contaminated water systems carry enormous liability and patient safety implications.
Biofilm & Legionella Risk - Beringia Water Works
Our Solution
AMF Nano Technology eliminates biofilm and prevents pathogen colonization throughout hospital water systems without chemicals:
- Complete biofilm prevention in cooling towers, hot water systems, and distribution networks
- Legionella risk reduction without chemical biocides or their associated handling hazards
- Simplified ASHRAE 188 compliance-fewer chemicals to document, monitor, and manage
- Deployed at Ascension Health across multiple facilities with proven results
- Zero chemical storage requirements-reducing safety risks for hospital staff
Results & ROI
Ascension Health Deployment - Beringia Water Works
Why Beringia
- Proven at Ascension Health-the largest faith-based hospital system in the US, validating performance at enterprise healthcare scale
- Eliminates chemical handling risks in sensitive patient environments where staff safety is paramount
- Supports ASHRAE 188 and CMS water management compliance with simpler, more reliable treatment
- 1mm of biofilm reduces heat transfer by 50% and increases energy costs by 35%-AMF prevents biofilm entirely
