Ultrasonic Water Treatment
by
Algae Control
In basins and lakes, our floating, cavitating ultrasonic emitters effectively control algae and biofilm growth. Other pathogens are also controlled by our transmitters and the basin water quality is greatly improved.
Biofilm
To combat biofilm, a double transmitter of 100 watts should always be used. Experience has shown that biofilm is removed from an area of 1,250-1,600 m2. The size of the pool does not matter, several transmitters can be placed.
Any basin, regardless of size or prevailing climate can be treated by our cavitating, ultrasonic transmitters.
Algae and Biofilm
Of all micro-organisms algae are the easiest for our floating, cavitating ultrasonic transmitters to kill . Many pools are made algae free. Our smallest 60watt transmitter can keep areas of 1,000-1,500 m2 free of algae. The double 100watt transmitters control both algae and biofilm over an area of 1,250-1,750 m2.
Within 30 days, our transmitters can make any basin algae-free.
How do ultrasonic transmitters work?
Ultrasonic transmitters constantly send sound at very high frequencies into the water. This causes cavitation.
Cavitation is the creation of gas bubbles between the water molecules. The bubbles become larger and larger due to the continuous sound. Eventually, the gas bubbles become unstable and implode.
The Video Shows the Impact of the Pressure Waves.
Imploding bubbles causes a pressure wave of 2,000 bar. The waves moves through the water at 1,250 m/s, destroying microorganisms present, killing algae and causing them to sink to the bottom.
The pressure waves only affect micro organisms. The pressure waves have no impact on walls, fish or mammals.
Customer Review: Fresh Venture Farms, Canada
We have been doing business with Ultramins and Robert for about 3 years now. Being very skeptical in the beginning we only started treating our pond of 2.200 m2.
Our pond is a natural pond, with no liner. The water here has a lot of ‘clay dust’ making it very cloudy. This was an issue for us as we couldn’t have our cloudy water being treated by an UV-system, this simply will not work. All algae were eliminated in a relative short period, in about 3 weeks.
So, after seeing good results in the pond by using 2 DT 100 watt transmitters, we decided to also treat our 2 silo’s with ultrasonic transmitters. We don’t regret this decision one bit. We placed 1 transmitter in our leach tank to make sure biofilm doesn’t grow and we placed 5 units in our stock water tank + adding H2O2 . This stock water tank is being filled with treated pond and leach water. Both silos are 400 m3.
Our annual usage of H2O2 has dropped by 20-25% and the water is constantly of good quality, without any maintenance or monitoring. Our stock tank fills up in the night, the water gets treated during the whole night combined with H2O2 and the next day this water goes to the plants. We can honestly say we have not one issue in our irrigation water. It’s probably hard to believe for people who haven’t used this system before, as it was for me. This system saves me a lot of time, as you know the water is always of good quality. The system was easy to put in place, without having to make any changes to our irrigation system. So far I have not seen any negative side to its use.
This system saves me a lot of time because I know the water is always of good quality. The system was easy to install, without us having to make any changes to our irrigation system. So far, I have not seen any negative side to using it.
I can recommend Ultramins as a company; it has been good and reliable doing business with them.
