  • Algae Control Australia: Our Vision to Control Algae and Restore Water

    At Algae Control Australia, we believe that access to clean water is a human right.

     Our company is committed to control the threat from algae and biofilm.

The inspiration to use ultrasound as the cure

From the perspective of Water IQ Technologies:

Lawrence Field has long had an appreciation for the importance of water in human activity. He founded and ran Cypress Energy Partners, one of the largest pipeline inspection and remediation companies in the U.S. He recognized how important water resources were in this industry, and he was naturally curious how water was protected and managed in other markets.

While playing a round of golf at Shooting Star Golf Club within a few miles of the Teton National Park in Wyoming, Lawrence noticed how the club was utilizing ultrasonic technology to preserve the beauty, safety and cleanliness of the ponds, lakes and other water features). Residing within a pristine natural environment and surrounded by federal and state protected lands, Shooting Star Golf Club has to operate under strict water quality requirements. In short, they needed to return the water they use to the Snake River cleaner than they found it. The success of ultrasonic technology inspired Lawrence to consider how he could create a company to control algae and restore water systems on a large scale.


From the Algae Control Australia perspective:

Wayne Sobey, the founder of both Amacron Golf & Turf and Algae Control Australia, has an obsession with innovation and has previously

designed and built ultrasonic welding equipment for PET fibre. PET is a hygroscopic polymer and almost impossible to weld with solvents and glues and was used in the equine fencing industry, a company he sold in 2017. Due to his interest in innovation and past experience with exciting the molecules of PET to make them bond using ultrasonics, and his experience with the ongoing algae issues on golf courses he decided to look into whether ultrasonics could in fact be the answer to algae issues.  He observed that this problem closed down lakes and tourism every season, this was the new obsession!

After researching various ways this could be done and having found average success stories on other companies attempts,

he finally came across Water IQ Technologies USA, doing exactly what he desired to achieve.

The partnership was immediate, as Water IQ Technologies was achieving exactly what his aims and goals were and our working together

began right away.

Algae Control Australia: Fresh thinking to restore water to its natural state

Algae Control Australia represents fresh thinking and the marriage of the best technical and business strategies to solve algae and biofilm problems plaguing the world’s water. We stand out in the market in four distinct ways:

Expert in our field

Our deep domain expertise: Our staff and technical advisors are the leading experts in understanding algae and biofilm and the effects of ultrasound in removing them. We know that chemicals are short-term and harmful “band-aids” with long-term effects on delicate ecosystems. Our team has over 20 years solving algae problems with ultrasound, and we partner with other experts in industry and academia to deepen our understanding.

Advanced Technology

Our advanced ultrasound technology: Our engineering team works with the world’s leading ultrasonic manufacturing companies to define what’s possible with this evolving technology. Today Algae Control Australia is deploying a fourth-generation ultrasound technology that is very reliable and capable of successfully targeting and removing most algae and biofilm. It generates more than 2,000 ultrasound frequencies to create resonance and prevent harmful algae and biofilm without experiencing the negative side effects (such as “cavitation”) that could harm healthy, desired, aquatic life. In addition, our advanced on-board telemetry captures field data and uploads it to cloud-based monitoring and analytics systems.

Mindset

Our positive, consultative mindset: Our staff members are well-respected for their deep technical knowledge and industry experience.
