Anti-Fouling Systems for Clarifiers

As demand for water continues to increase, Utilities are challenged more than ever to provide affordable, quality water while reducing the environmental impact of chemical usage. Clarifiers are an ideal environment for algae and biofilm growth. Whether the water is coming into a water treatment plant or leaving a wastewater plant, it is nutrient rich. Combining this nutrient rich water with sunlight in the treatment cells creates ideal conditions for biofouling.

Ultrasonic technology offers an affordable alternative for reducing mechanical cleaning and chemical cost in water and wastewater processing. In addition to the clarifier system, high-powered, state-of-the-art ultrasonic units for killing algae in open water reservoirs and holding ponds are available. Combinations of different models installed in key locations will retard algae and biofilm growth at critical stages in a water processing system. They can be used in both fresh or seawater.
