Ultrasonic Solutions for Environmental Problems
Thank you for your interest in ultrasonic technology. The use of ultrasound for controlling algae and biofilm has been known for some time and many publications have been written on the topic. However, the recent practical use of such tools is driven by the technological improvements made in the last ten years.
Algae are present on vegetation, in the air, soil, and water. Their microscopic spores are continuously introduced by wind, dust storms, rain showers, etc. into water sites. When algae growth overtakes a water site, the water quality deteriorates causing adverse enviromental and financial impacts. Biofilms on surfaces can cause multi-billion-dollar losses each year (www.cen-online.org, June 9 2008). Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, our ultrasonic devices are used to control algae and biofilm in closed and open water systems.
Combining science and engineering, the future of an ecologically balanced approach for eliminating unwanted algae and biofilm is available now. Professional support services are provided. For product assistance, go to Tech Support Page.
