Ultrasonic ControlThe ultrasonic control devices emit specific ultrasonic parameters in order to control algae and biofouling in lakes, reservoirs, and industrial applications.What is the Impact of Ultrasound on the algae?We use scientifically proven ultrasonic frequencies to control many types of algae. A very common differentiation is between green algae and toxic cyanobacteria, which are also known as blue-green algae.

Safe for humans, fish, plants, zooplankton, and insectsThe effects of our ultrasonic algae control products have been tested by various universities and are proven to be safe for fish, plants, zooplankton, and insects.
The University of Portsmouth, UK; UNICET Catania, Italy; and BOKU, Austria found that LG Sonic units are safe for fish. The devices have been tested on their effect on zooplankton, and no negative effect was found. The products are not based on cavitation, which is a phenomenon where high-power ultrasound causes the formation of micro-bubbles that implode, causing intense heat pressure. These processes can destroy cells and might harm fish and plants. |
Real-time Water Quality Monitoring |
Map algae concentrations with Satellite Remote Sensing |
Based on real-time water quality data we are able to modify the ultrasonic program to the specific water conditions.
The real-time water quality monitoring is automatically integrated in the system. The MPC-Buoy contains detailed monitoring equipment, providing a complete overview of the water quality and controls the algae accordingly by using ultrasound. Web-based software (MPC-View) allows users to visually follow the water quality and the progress of the ultrasonic treatment. |
Satellite remote sensing technology allows to accurately map the algae distribution in large water bodies.
We have integrated i the satellite remote sensing technology to accurately map the spatial and temporal distribution of the water quality parameters to generate a complete overview of the algae distribution in large water bodies. |
