Heat networks operating at 45 to 50 °C are attractive for the energy transition, but present a new challenge from a microbiological perspective. This partially eliminates the traditional protection of hot tap water at temperatures of around 60 °C. “When we move to low temperatures, a lot happens microbiologically,” says Paul van der Wielen, Principal Scientist Microbiology at KWR Water Research Institute (KWR). KWR is investigating, among other …
