Cooling Tower, algae and biofilm control

biolfilm control

“Control algae and biofilm in cooling tower basins environmentally friendly and effective with the LG Sonic technology. Due to its high efficiency you can now control levels of chemicals to your water!”

Controls algae

The  LG Sonic®  technology directly controls existing algae and prevents the growth of new algal cells without using chemicals. Thanks to the new Lp-Bs TechnologyTM the  LG Sonic® products can control algal growth in a circuit using only 10 Watt.

Biofilm control

The sound waves produced by the LG Sonic® are strong enough to control biofilm and the adherence of bacteria to a surface. EPS, present in an existing biofilm, is directly targeted degrading the biofilm.

Reduces chemicals

The LG Sonic® technology effectively controls algae, biofilm and Legionella which diminishes the need to frequently shock the cooling water with chemicals.

Improved efficiency

Even a small layer of biofilm within a pipe reduces its diameter.  This means less water can be pumped around the circuit and more power is needed. Besides that a biofilm can function as an insulating layer around the grids and pipes thereby reducing the cooling efficiency of the tower. By reducing the formation of a biofilm the  LG Sonic®  helps increase the efficiency of the cooling tower.

Prevent damage to pumps and pipes

Bacteria present in a biofilm can produce acids, corrosive for metal, or even use metal as fuel.
Debris present in the cooling tower water can be collected in the biofilm, leading to damage to pumps and pipes.
With  LG Sonic® the formation of a biofilm can be controlled preventing damage to the system.

Typical installation

The LG Sonic products are being installed within the cooling tower basin in stead of in a bypass or flow-through system which is the reason of the high efficiency of the products to biofilm formation and filamentous algae which stick to the walls of the basin.

Which product do I need for biofilm control?

LG Sonic XL plus or XXL plus. These models can effectively control biofilm formation even in larger cooling towers.
