Blue green algae control

People often visualize a lake as a uniform mass of water, almost like a full bathtub that is evenly mixed from top to bottom, side to side and front to back. As a matter of fact lakes are extremely heterogeneous or patchy. The physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of lakes are extremely variable. Lakes vary physically in terms of light levels, temperature, and water currents. Furthermore they varies chemically in terms of nutrients, major ions, and contaminants. Lakes also vary biologically in terms of structure and function as well as static versus dynamic variables, such as biomass, population numbers, and growth rates. There is a great deal of spatial heterogeneity in all these variables, as well as temporal variability on the scales of minutes, hours, diel (day/night), seasons, decades, and geological time. Though lakes may vary in many dimensions they are actually highly structured, similar to a forest ecosystem where, for example, a variety of physical variables (light, temperature, moisture) vary from the soil up through the canopy.

Light intensity at the lake surface varies seasonally and with cloud cover and decreases with depth down the water column. The deeper into the water column that light can penetrate, the deeper photosynthesis can occur. Photosynthetic organisms include algae in the water which can cause severe problems in recreational lakes. Blooming of blue-green algae can cause illness in humans and animals making recreational use of a lake nearly impossible.

The LG Sonic technology provides a method to control algae in your lake in an environmentally friendly method without disrupting the ecosystem.

The LG Sonic can be used to effectively control blue green algae growth in lakes, harbours and rivers without adding chemicals.

LG Sound has years of experience in the usage of the LG Sonic in lakes, rivers etc and have worked with the LG Sonic in many different countries. In the Netherlands, the LG Sonic has been used to control the blooming of blue-green algae in a harbour. In Japan the units have been used to control the growth of algae in a large lake. Many more application have shown the beneficial effects of the usage of the LG Sonic in natural water, some of these effects with the LG Sonic are:

• Reduction and control algae in the ponds and lakes in an efficient, cost-effective manner.
• Blue green algae control
• Reduction of TSS, turbidity, BOD, COD levels etc.
• Prevents further algae growth
• Reduces toxins by enhancing the degradation rate of toxins produced by blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), but primarily by controling of blue-green algae itself.
• Does not harm water plants, fish, frogs, zooplankton, prawns and other type of life present in the water.
• Does not harm the ecosystem
• 100% environmentally friendly
• Low maintenance on the devices
• Low energy consumption

How does the LG Sonic work in a lake?

In most cases the algae will sink to the bottom of the lake, where they will be degraded by the microbial life present. Furthermore the growth of new algae will be inhibited resulting in cleaner water. Because the turbidity of the water is being reduced water plants will be able to grow better, resulting in a healthier ecosystem. The reduced turbidity also improves the health of fish and other animals present in the water.

The experts working for LG Sound are all certified biologists with as much theoretical as field experience and will do their best effort to offer you the best fitting solution for your application. From the smallest pond to the largest lake, every application will be treated with a scientific background making sure LG Sound will solve your algae problem.
