LG Sonic - Algae Control and Biofouling Prevention for Industrial Line

Biofouling in closed-loop systems can result in serious negative side effects such as increased chemical consumption, corrosion, increased power requirements of the system, and health and safety implications due to the growth of Legionella or other potentially harmful organisms.

Advantages of our technology

• Prevent the growth of biofouling
• Reduce chemical expenses
• Prevent clogging of filters and pumps

Specific ultrasonic frequencies, waveforms and amplitudes can be utilized to prevent the formation of biofouling. Biofilm formation starts by bacteria attaching to a surface. The ultrasonic sound waves of LG Sonic create resonance around the solid surfaces within the water, thereby preventing bacteria to adhere to a surface.

1. Prevent bacteria from settling on a surface in the primary stages of biofilm formation
2. Alter the structure of an existing biofilm, eventually breaking it down
3. Control potential algae attaching to a biofilm

Some ultrasonic biofouling control solutions use cavitation to prevent biofouling, which is a phenomenon where high-power ultrasound causes intense heat pressure and the formation of hydrogen radicals.

These radicals may kill bacteria and other organisms but also cause oxidation reactions and may degrade anticorrosion layers.

Both the Industrial Wet and Industrial Dry systems are easy to install and require minimal manpower.

The rugged design allows for minimal maintenance and few check-ups.
