Algae Control

The A.G.A Group offers a range of algae control methods, the most effective being ultrasonics, and is happy to offer site specific solutions to meet the needs of our clients.

Ultrasonic Algae Control

Ultrasonics is the most effective method available for controlling and eliminating the undesirable and damaging effects of algae contamination.

These units are completely safe and present NO negative impacts on health or the environment.

A new generation

The use of ultrasonic waveforms is an environmentally friendly method of effective control. It will completely negate the nuisance of blue/green (cynabacteria), blanket weed (filamentous algae) species and other nuisance algae.

Using advanced ultrasonic technology a submerged transducer transmits ultrasonic waveforms to specifically target the algae cell structure. A complex pattern of ultrasonic vibrations through the water cause the cell vacuole to rupture. Whether floating or rooted the single cell is destroyed, rendering the algae dead.

Ultrasonics can control and eliminate algae in a number of aquatic environments

These include:

• water treatment plants
• drinking water supplies
• livestock water supplies
• receiving water ponds
• cooling towers
• lakes
• ponds
• rivers
• swimming pools
• reservoirs
• fisheries and amenity lakes.
