Aquatic plants fulfill various ecological roles; they are a natural part of every lake and their surroundings, and they interact with a wide range of organisms. When restoring a lake’s ecosystem, it is crucial to assess its aquatic vegetation ...
Green waters are red flags Blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria) and green algae that bloom in drinking water sources degrade water quality and are likely to end up in water treatment plants, clogging sand filters, and pipes. Additionally, they produce ...
In Argentina, green-blue algae have made their appearance in various lakes and lagoons. Not only do they smell bad – they hamper the growth of aquatic plants, threaten marine life, and cause health issues in humans due to the release of ...
Today, there are plenty of methods to track and improve water quality. Yet, the technique that stands out the most comes from space. You guessed it - remote sensing (or satellite imagery). Remote sensing refers to the process of collecting and ...
Blooming of (toxic) algae is a global problem that increases each year due to pollution and climate change. In order to restore our aquatic ecosystems, actions must be taken that address excess algal growth. Over the past years, innovations around ...
Water is a vital resource for many businesses, making careful management necessary to achieve its optimal quality. One of the problems that many companies face in this process is the presence of microalgae in large concentrations. Harmful algal ...
As the year comes to a close, we look back at a year of challenges. We would like to thank our loyal customers for their trust in our company during these times of uncertainty and change. This year, despite the pandemic, we extended our customer ...
To comply with the stringent NPDES effluent guidelines, it is vital to understand the mechanisms and interactions that affect the balance in the aquatic ecosystems. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requires power plants in ...

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) appear more often, abundant, extensive, and toxic than ever. Each year, they affect diverse new water areas around the world. Many of these blooms are triggered by increasing nutrient pollution. The dramatic surge ...
Drinking water reservoirs worldwide often suffer from frequent outbreaks of algal blooms. Their water quality degrades and becomes undrinkable. Algal blooms can grow so massive that they are even visible from outer space. Rising temperatures, ...
Microscopic algae (phytoplankton) is an important part of the ecosystem because in the presence of sunlight, they produce oxygen through photosynthesis and release this oxygen into the water. However, its massive growth and the production of ...
Frequent outbreaks of algal blooms are degrading water in drinking water reservoirs worldwide, making the water unusable. Algal blooms can sometimes be so massive that they are visible from outer space. Rising temperatures, prolonged water ...
LG Sonic will exhibit during the World Environment Federation Technical Exhibition & Conference (WEFTEC) 2018. WEFTEC 2018 takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana, from October 1st to October 3rd. We will showcase our environmentally friendly ...
Be sure to stop by and visit us at IWA WWCE Booth 5 from 16 – 21 September in Tokyo, Japan. Explore our award-winning and innovative technologies that control and monitor algae in large water bodies at the Isle Emerging Technologies ...
Florida’s Lake Okeechobee algal blooms are even higher this summer causing many significant problems for local residents Florida’s Lake Okeechobee is experiencing a massive algal bloom that threatens waterways throughout the entire ...
Many different algal types can bloom in a water body. Some of these algae are plant cells, while others are bacteria. Algae may vary in size, shape and cell characteristics. Typically, the type of algae that blooms depends on water temperature and ...
A floating solar powered algae control system was installed in Emmitsburg (US) to control algae in a reservoir that provides drinking water to approximately 3,000 people. The MPC-Buoy system, installed in April 2017, succeeds in controlling algae, ...
LG Sonic will make use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to further develop the software algorithm which will make it possible to predict algal blooms based on water quality data automatically. Furthermore, it will provide detailed information about ...
