Ultrasonic algae control solution for cooling towers sector - Air and Climate
Prevent biofouling growth: Algae can grow in the cooling tower itself and on the grids from the tower. This could lead to enormous disadvantages of biofilm in cooling towers. Therefore, water used in cooling towers needs frequent treatment and chemical shocks to keep levels of micro-organisms to a minimum. The LG Sonic Industrial Line allows to reduce chemical dosage and offers local treatment were biofouling growth can’t be prevented with chemicals.
- Prevent biofouling
- Reduce chemicals
- Local treatment
- Lower chemical expenses
- Improve operations of filters and pipes
- Prevent toxic algal blooms
- Low-power ultrasound, no cavitation
- No release of algal toxins
- 100% safe for the environment
In a cooling system there are billions of bacteria which are held together by a slimy substance (EPS). The formation of a biofilm, or biofouling come into existence when the bacteria stops moving, settles down and becomes part of a biofilm. To this layer, other organisms such as algae, weeds, parasites, muscles or even barnacles may attach.
Due to biofouling- negative effects may occur such as increased chemical consumption, corrosion and increases in power requirements of the system.
