The MPC-Buoy ultrasonic algae control system can appear to operate normally while transducer biofouling silently disables treatment. ...
A method to prevent biofouling settlement in sea or brackish water intake and cooling water systems is necessary to help retain their efficiency and integrity. ...
By integrating real-time data collection with ultrasound technology, wastewater treatment plants can effectively manage nutrient levels, control algae growth, and prevent biofouling without relying on chemicals. These systems work by: Monitoring key water quality parameters such as turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-a, and pH, allowing facilities to make ...
One of the biggest challenges of monitoring in aquatic environments is keeping instruments clean and free of sedimentation and biofouling. In both fresh and marine environments, benthic organisms are quick to colonize on instrumentation and deployment hardware used to collect environmental data. Saltwater environments are particularly difficult to manage due to the variety of calcium ...
When it comes to effective biofouling control, there are few components more essential to your system’s processes than electrochlorination cells. These cells generate chlorine that can help prevent inefficient, expensive system downtime by controlling biofouling organisms such as barnacles, mussels, and film-forming ...

Your offshore rig or vessel depends upon disinfected, pure seawater to keep all of your seawater utility systems running safely and efficiently. One way to ensure effectiveness and efficiency is to reduce or prevent any instances of biofouling in your rig’s seawater utility systems. Your vessel’s electrochlorination units work to ...

What you really need to worry about is the free residual value of oxidizer in the parts of your cooling water system that have the longest residence time – the points in the system where treated water takes a long time to flow from the hypochlorite injection point to the measurement point. ...

The UNIPER power plant, Maasvlakte (MPP3) is located adjacent to Rotterdam harbour on the North Sea coast and has a capacity of 1100 MW netto. The Power Plant utilises seawater for cooling of the condenser during the energy generating process. The seawater is extracted from the Europahaven and discharges the warmed seawater into an exhaust basin that flows out through the joint outlet (block dam) ...
Project facts Advanced Water Technology (AWT) build the Al Khafji Seawater Reverse Osmosis SWRO Desalination Plant, which is the world’s first large-scale solar-powered desalination plant. It is located in Al Khafji to the north-eastern part of Saudi Arabia near the Kuwait border. The desalination plant was completed by late 2017. It will supply 60,000m³ of desalinated seawater a day ...
Al Futtaim Cooling district plant incorporated the LG Sonic technology into their chemical treatment program to reduce the biocide consumption in the cooling towers and improve the water quality. The Challenge: Prevent Biofouling and Reduce Chemical Dosage Reduce chemical dosage for water treatment and at the same time controlling factors that may cause problems such as corrosion, scaling and ...
Satellite remote sensing technology combined with real-time water quality data LG Sonic has integrated the satellite remote sensing technique to the real-time in-situ water quality data from the MPC-Buoys to accurately map the spatial and temporal distribution of the optically active water quality parameters to help effectively monitor and improve the ultrasonic algae control ...

The system deploys long range ultrasonic waves travelling throughout the steel plates of a ship’s hull in order to prevent and control biofouling. ...
It’s important to be able to identify microbial biofouling in the industrial cooling systems that you treat. We know that biofouling is a bad thing … reducing the heat transfer performance of a cooling system, as well as causing microbially induced corrosion, harboring pathogens, and accumulating scale deposits. All ...
In addition to detection and analysis of biofouling problems, effective biofouling control should include a monitoring program for ongoing detection and analysis of a clean system in order to maintain it in that state (below the “threshold of interference”) and provide efficient and cost-effective operations. ...
Integration of automatic cleansing system It is important to keep the ultrasonic transmitter head clean in order to maintain the system’s efficiency. ...
The secondary effluent from wastewater treatment plants was reused for industrial cooling water after pre-treatment with a laboratory-scale soil aquifer treatment (SAT) system. Up to a 95.3% removal efficiency for suspended solids (SS), 51.4% for chemical oxygen demand (COD), 32.1% for Cl− and 30.0% SO42− were observed for the recharged secondary effluent after the SAT ...
Abstract Within the lifetime of most reverse osmosis (RO) systems some fouling will adversely affect membrane performance.One of the major foulants identified on lead membranes during a decade of membrane autopsy at the Genesys Membrane laboratory is biological fouling (biofouling). ...
The accumulation of micro-organisms, along with the presence of nutrients, forms biofilms. Biofoulants that are typically encountered in desalination systems include cellular organisms (e.g. bacteria or algae) and organic debris, including algae organic matter. ...
