Case Study: Mater Private eradicates Legionella and reduces energy costs with Azolla Software

Mater Private - Customer Case Study

Mater Private, a network of hospitals in Ireland, faced a persistent and dangerous Legionella issue in its water systems that its existing temperature monitoring solution could not resolve. The hospital group needed a way to identify the root cause in real-time to ensure patient safety. They turned to Azolla Software and its IoT sensor technology for a modern solution.

Azolla Software deployed wireless IoT sensors to capture and trend live water temperature data across the hospital's infrastructure. This data pinpointed the problem to specific vents and periods of high demand, allowing engineers to implement a new flushing regime and install a higher capacity heat exchanger. Using the Azolla platform for alerts and dashboards, Mater Private eradicated Legionella, achieved energy savings between 6-23%, and saved 25% on engineering time.
