Ultrasonic algae control solution for water treatment plants industry - Water and Wastewater - Water Treatment
Prevent taste and odour problems. The performance of drinking water treatment plants is consistent with the amount of contamination in the water. Growth of algae and biofouling in a treatment plant can cause various problems within the process including: clogging of intake screens, fouling of weirs, increased chlorine demand, tastes/ odours, and the release of toxins. Control algae, cyanobacteria and fouling efficiently with LG Sonic ultrasound to reduce taste and odor problems in the water treatment plant.
- Reduce chemicals
- Lower bacterial counts
- Prevent biofouling
- Lower chemical expenses
- Improve operations of filters and pipes
- Prevent toxic algal blooms
- Low-power ultrasound, no cavitation
- No release of algal toxins
- 100% safe for the environment
Biofouling in drinking water systems has detrimental effects such as microbiological and chemical deterioration in water quality, corrosion-inducing effects, and efficiency-reducing effects in water treatment processes.
The growth of algae, cyanobacteria and bacteria within the basins of the plant itself increases the demand of chemicals or filtration and in turn creates problems with THM (trihalomethane) formation.
Algae and biofouling-related problems are also often seen in sand filers, flocculation chambers, clarifiers and coagulation tanks.
