LG Sonic will exhibit at AWWA ACE 2026, the American Water Works Association’s Annual Conference and Exposition. Visit us at Booth 4219, June 21–24, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Our US team is ready to discuss ultrasonic algae control and real-time monitoring for drinking water utilities.
Water managers face increasing pressure from harmful algal blooms, stricter regulations, and rising treatment costs. Consequently, our team will focus on proactive source water management — reducing downstream treatment complexity before it becomes a problem.
AWWA ACE 2026: What to Expect at Booth 4219
AWWA ACE 2026 brings together thousands of water professionals from utilities, municipalities, engineering firms, and technology providers. The theme is Water Heroes. It celebrates the people and solutions behind safe, sustainable drinking water — from source to tap.
Visit us at Booth 4219, June 21–24. Our US team will discuss how utilities control harmful algal blooms and taste-and-odor issues at the source. That means stopping algae before it reaches the treatment plant.
Meet the LG Sonic US Team
Stop by Booth 4219 to connect with Greg Eiffert, US Director, and Tom Smith, US Senior Product Consultant. Both bring extensive experience helping North American utilities manage surface water quality challenges.
Our team will walk you through the MPC-Buoy. Learn how utilities have reduced chemical treatment costs and protected source water reliability using this technology.
Topics we will cover at AWWA ACE 2026:
- Harmful algal bloom prevention — proactive control before blooms develop, without chemicals
- Taste and odor management — reducing geosmin and MIB complaints through source water intervention
- Real-time water quality monitoring — continuous data on chlorophyll-a, blue-green algae, dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature
- Reducing chemical dependency — utilities that have significantly cut PAC and algaecide use after deploying the MPC-Buoy
- Regulatory preparedness — early detection and documentation to support compliance
About the MPC-Buoy
The MPC-Buoy combines ultrasonic algae control with continuous water quality monitoring in a single solar-powered platform. Ultrasound disrupts cyanobacteria buoyancy, causing cells to sink below the photic zone. Therefore, bloom formation stops without lysing cells or triggering cyanotoxin release.
The technology operates in 69+ countries. It protects drinking water reservoirs, treatment plant intakes, and industrial water systems worldwide. Monitoring data integrates with SCADA systems for operational decision support.
Explore case studies from drinking water utilities including American Water, Anglian Water, South West Water, and Vallecitos Water District.
