Algae Bluster

In the Algae Bluster there are two parts:

1. An Electronic Power Box

An electronic power box generates sound pulses. Because of the technology used in the power box, it is possible to generates several different frequencies simultaneously and send them to transducer.

2. Ultrasonic Transducer

The ultrasonic transducer is placed in the pond or lake in a positioned, just below and horizontal to the surface of water. It emits these different ultrasound frequencies into the water. When these high frequency pulses hits algal cells, the cells begins to oscillate with these frequencies. If the algae, has a gas vacuole, then this vacuole also starts to oscillate with resonating frequencies to such an extent that it continues to increase in size. Then there comes a point when the vacuole becomes unstable and breaks down, making the algae sink to the bottom of the pond. Algal species which don't have gas vacuoles react differently. The vibrations from the ultrasound cause the inner cell wall of the algal cell to become separated from the outer cell wall this means that water, gases and nutrients can neither be absorbed nor expelled and as a result the algae dies. The pictures below demonstrate the effect of ultrasound on the cell structure of Spirogyra as mentioned above. It can clearly see how the plasmalemma becomes separated from the outer cell wall.

• Controls algae in large range
  One device can control algae in large range. Multiple devices can be used for applications more than larger range.
• Weatherproof control box
  Completely innovated aluminium control box to better protect the electronic circuit from weather inuences. It has better cooling capabilities and is water resistant.
• Low Power-High Signal Technology
  We feel that the strength of a sound wave is in their shape and transmissions and not in the power we put into them. Due to this technology the devices able to send out a sound signal under optimal conditions. This makes it possible to apply low power to obtain a long range
• Highly advanced transducer
  The transducer has been specially manufactured for Sound and has a protected formula. The transducers have been designed to gain the highest efciency in transmitting the sound energy into the water.
• Easy to install
  The devices are very easy to install. After delivery the product can be installed immediately in a water reservoir.
• Low energy consumption
  Due to the highly advanced technology the devices use a maximum of 13 Watts.
• Low maintenance
  Devices have very negligible maintenance
• 3 years guarantee
  The devices have a guarantee of 3 years Smaller models have a 2 years guarantee
• Multi Frequency technology
  Controlling one type of algae in a water reservoir often means another type will have a better chance to grow. Hence it uses the Technology, which produces multiple frequencies simultaneously, controlling several algal species at the same time.
• Solar system available
  The devices can operate on 24 or 36V using only 10 Watt and are thus capable to operate on a solar system
