the problem

Algae blooms are excessive growths of algae, often resulting from high concentrations of  nitrogen and phosphorus coupled with warm temperatures. Other factors include water chemistry and the nature of the specific algae species. While nitrogen and phosphorus are common nutrients in healthy water ecosystems, high concentrations can be driven by agriculture discharge, wastewater, storm water and home usage, and exacerbated by severe weather patterns that alter and disrupt normal water cycles. These conditions increase the amount of nutrients contained in the water, resulting in out of control algae growth. 

Some of the most common and most damaging blooms are of cyanobacteria, otherwise known as blue-green algae.
They create toxins harmful to people and pets, and blooms directly impact water quality and usage. These and other algae, including green, golden and red algae can prevent recreational use of water bodies, increase the cost of producing drinking water, disrupt wastewater processing, and impede industrial uses and agricultural irrigation

Situation	Implication
Chemicals are harmful — to your water and your local ecosystem.	Most ingredients remain trade secrets and copper sulphates (CuSo4) are toxic requiring full PPE to apply. Chemical application is not compatible with environmental sustainability and certifications.
CuSo4 stays around — and accumulates and makes the water worse over time.	Chemicals can destroy beneficial bacteria and revive an algal bloom.
Most remediation is expensive — and requires on going work to clean out algae and biofilms, even if you can find the labour.	This is lost productivity for your team and costs you a bundle. Alternatives like chlorination and UV are very expensive to operate and disrupt downstream operations.
Some algae are highly toxic — to people and to pets, and to fish and aquatic life.	Cyanotoxins can harm your pets, family or team. It can also contaminate crops and cause fish kills. Golden algae kills fish and Red Tide decimates communities.
Algae disrupts productivity — it clogs pumps and drip lines in irrigation applications and creates compliance and cost issues on wastewater, drinking water, and aquaculture.	Shuts down critical water distribution and potentially spreads cyanotoxins to crops.

How it works

Ultrasonic sound waves at precise frequencies stimulate the resonance 
of simple cellular structures in the algal cell – disrupting cellular mechanisms and disabling algae.
The algae sinks to the bottom and slowly dies without releasing toxins. No chemicals required.
Operates 24/7 over AC or DC solar supplies.
Cloud monitoring and remote capabilities to automate irrigation support and water quality monitoring.

For biofilms, the soundwaves simulate water turbulence, reventing the bonding and growth of anaerobic bacteria, which is the foundation for biofilms. The anaerobic layer does not bond and form.

Ultrasound is complementary to methods that oxygenate the water or harness beneficial bacteria to address heavy nutrient loading and accumulation of sunken biomass.  Frequently, ultrasound can resolve the issue alone.Depending on the state of your water, a combination of ultrasound with beneficialbacteria or aeration may make sense to rapidly address your Issues. Only ultrasound directly addresses algae remediation. The power of “&” can sometimes fully resolve your issues – all without harmful chemicals.

Our Solution FamilyAlgae Control Australia along with WaterIQ Technologies USA provides a comprehensive and powerful solution to manage algae — to prevent, combat and sustain improvements in algae mitigation.
