Algae Control Australia

  • Removing Algae and controlling biofilm formation in Wastewater Treatment Plants

    Ultrasound technology is a proven, cost-effective and reliable solution to rid harmful algae within wastewater treatment plants that face the challenges of aging infrastructure, labor shortages, and strict regulations.

Stop Algae from Impacting Treatment Plants

We provide innovative wastewater algae control solutions tailored to the challenges faced by utilities and councils. From sustainable ultrasonic treatment to seamless SCADA integration, our team is committed to helping you maintain compliance, protect infrastructure, and achieve long-term water quality success.

Maintaining Aging Physical Plants

While battling algae blooms and ensuring compliance, wastewater treatment plant operators must also address the physical effects of clogged or damaged infrastructure, including filters. An entity permitted by the National Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) facilities that discharge polluted water are subject to significant fines.

Chemicals are Short-Lived and Hazardous

While chemicals can be fast and effective in temporarily killing algae, they can have harmful effects on the environment and require frequent applications from an already overworked team. The chemicals also need to be handled and stored safely.



Aeration Systems Don’t Kill Algae

The use of aeration systems can be expensive, and while helpful in contributing to water health, they don’t directly kill algae.






A widespread water problem in urgent need of an efficient solution

The mission for wastewater treatment systems is challenging – and the responsibilities are significant. Those operating plants must collect used water and sewage, remove contaminates, and then transport treated clean water back into water sources for reuse. This important mission is highly regulated, regardless of who is responsible. The plants can be publicly or privately owned municipal plants managed by local governments or outsourced companies. Private companies, such as power plants, oil refineries, may also have their wastewater treatment facility onsite for treating wastewater.

There are more than 16,000 wastewater treatment plants in the United States. A challenge of this proportion requires an efficient solution.

Ultrasound eliminates algae in wastewater treatment plants

Ultrasound technology is a reliable solution to algae control that requires very little manual intervention, is very safe to use, is proven to be effective in killing algae, and has built-in checks in the form of sensors to test water health and report intelligently and proactively to personnel who can remotely monitor changes and respond as required.

Ultrasound has been proven to be very effective in killing algae. Ultrasonic sound waves damage green and green-blue algae, causing them to sink and die. Algae Control Australia™ can test your water to determine the species of the algae and confirm that ultrasound will be effective.

Algae Control Australia systems can be quickly installed and operational. With our cloud-based solution, it’s easier to share collected data and interpret prescriptive courses of action. Our support helps you focus on other pressing needs.

Algae Control Australia ultrasound systems are reliable and need little manual intervention. They include robust onboard water testing and system reporting capabilities that upload data to the cloud so you can monitor both the system and water sensor readings, such as dissolved oxygen levels.
