How LG Sonic Ultrasound Technology Controls Algae
Published on by Tristen Gunther, Marketing Manager at LG Sonic in Technology
Controlling algae with low-power ultrasound is a well-established technology that has been in existence for many years. It is an environmentally-friendly technology that is harmless to fish and plants.
LG Sonic ultrasonic solutions are not based on cavitation.
LG Sonic algae control devices make use of specific and low-power ultrasound (5W per transmitter). It is an environmental friendly technology which is harmless to fish and plants.
Other ultrasonic methods involve the production of cavitation by using ultrasound with a high-power output. Cavitation is a phenomenon where high power ultrasound causes the formation of bubbles that implode upon themselves causing intense heat and pressure, which can destroy cells, and has been known to have a harmful impact on the ecosystem.
Also, due to the high power-requirements, it is not possible to use this method for the treatment of lakes or any large water surface.
