Chemical-Free Ultrasonic Algae Control for Wastewater Lagoons and More | CRWA SERIES | EP 4
Greg Eiffert of LG Sonic US on chemical-free ultrasonic algae control for wastewater lagoons and reservoirs, using a solar-powered monitoring buoy.
In this episode of Engineers for Communities, Greg Eiffert of LG Sonic US explains how the company's Monitor, Predict, Control (MPC) Buoy controls algae in water and wastewater systems.
The episode is for engineers, city officials, government agencies and real estate developers focused on sustainable water treatment in rural and urban communities.
Guest
Greg Eiffert, LG Sonic US
In this episode
- How LG Sonic's ultrasound system controls algae in reservoirs and lakes without chemicals.
- The benefits of ultrasound over traditional chemical treatments, which can create secondary issues and release toxins, and how it limits the impact on non-target organisms.
- LG Sonic's adaptive approach, which uses real-time water quality data from a monitoring buoy to adjust algae treatment.
- Why the MPC Buoy runs on solar power with battery backup, which reduces the need for outside power and manual work.
- Projects around the world, and the return on investment from chemical savings and reduced plant maintenance in the case studies discussed.
