Cooling Towers
Cooling towers have to contend with algae no more! The formation of biofilm, and the chemical load necessary to manage both the bacteria and the algae present in a cooling tower, can either be eliminated or at the very least much better controlled, with the introduction of the LG Sonic ultrasound. 1. Minimize chemical consumption Under the influence of the ultrasound waves algae growth is inhibited thus lowering the overall chemical load necessary to balence the system. 2. Bio-films inside the tower are prevented from forming. 
The ultrasonic sound waves vibrate bacteria and their pili retract as if they are in turbulent water. This will slow down biofilm growth on surfaces and if you start with a very clean surface, the formation of biofilm is nearly inhibited.
The Japan study (shown in photos) showed that the ultrasonic signal in the cooling tower reduced the biofilm growth and reduced the propagation of Legionella bacteria by indirectly interfering with its reproduction cycle that hinges on symbiotic relationships with other organisms within the biofilm colony. The reduction or elimination of the biofim reduces the possibilities of host bacteria being formed. |
