Industrial Algae Control
Many people commonly think that algae only grows in ponds and swimming pools but in reality algae can grow almost anywhere that contains water.
This includes a number of industrial applications where algae can create a lot of problems and add a great deal of expense to keeping it under control.
If left untreated algae might end up creating even more problems by clogging up filters, pumps, and other mechanisms necessary for daily operations.
Just as it does with pond algae control , ultrasound works by creating sound waves that travel through the water. These waves are precisely "tuned" to match the frequency of many types of algae and biofilm and can disrupt the formation of both by creating vibrations that either directly damage the algae cell or in the case of biofilm, the ultrasound creates a degree of "turbulence" which can restrict the colonization neccesary for biofilm to form.
Listed below are several applications where ultrasound technology has proven to be useful in algae control and associated treatment costs to keep it in check. To learn more simply click on your topic of interest.
