Our dedicated Customer Support monitors and operates the MPC-Buoys remotely.
When needed If there are changes in your water quality, they’ll immediately adjust the ultrasonic programs to ensure optimal algae control.
The buoy is resistant to extreme heat, and cold temperatures, even at high altitudes or in desert conditions. There is no need to take the buoy out during wintertime.
Maintenance is only needed every six months. There is no need to bring the buoy back to shore.
All components are reachable by boat, ensuring the safety of your staff.
Automatic cleaning system guarantees ultrasound efficiency, significantly reducing maintenance time, costs, and labor
The MPC-Buoy can be assembled within 2-4 hours. Typically, 3 people can assemble one buoy.
After the assembly, the buoy is ready to be deployed. You can drag it into the water by boat. It needs to be anchored in place to ensure a stationary position.
MPC-Buoy can be installed in raw, industrial, and irrigation reservoirs, lakes, dams, cooling ponds and towers, aquaculture ponds, wastewater treatment plants, power plants, settling ponds, crystal- and wastewater lagoons.
Algae can become resistant to treatment methods, including ultrasound. To avoid this, we’ll determine the most effective ultrasonic program for your unique situation.
The program parameters will be specific for wave form, frequency, pause, and amplitude. The key to long-term results is adjusting settings before the algae mutate.
Our database contains more than 10 years of information collected from thousands of LG Sonic devices operating around the world. It includes datapoints on different types of water bodies, algae species, seasons, etc.
Our database is continually refreshed with new information, always optimizing predictive algorithms for the benefit of all our customers.
1. Monitor
The MPC-Buoy provides a complete overview of your water quality by collecting the following parameters* every 10 minutes:
- Chlorophyll α (green algae)
- Phycocyanin (blue-green algae)
- pH
- Turbidity
- Dissolved oxygen
- Temperature
*Additional sensors can be purchased separately
