Raising the level of Water Quality with Ultrasound Technology
Share
There are several ways of removing harmful, water-borne bacteria, algae and biofilm from stored water. Most options incur a capital cost for the equipment and an ongoing revenue cost for inputs such as chemicals. But there are other, more cost effective solutions…
There is now extensive evidence that Ultrasonic treatment of stored water has a significant, positive impact on water quality. High frequency devices simply break the bacterial cell walls, which then die. It’s that simple…
- Ultrasonic emitters continuously send a very high frequency sound into the water, creating cavitation.
- Cavitation is a physical process in which gas bubbles form between water molecules
- These gas bubbles increase in size due to the persistent sound, causing them to become unstable and implode.
- Imploding causes a powerful pressure wave of 2,000 bar.
- The pressure wave moves through the water at 1,250m/s, rupturing the membranes of micro-organisms and destroying them
Devices are simple to install, and are supplied ready to plug and play. Running costs are minimal – the equivalent cost of running a light bulb 24x7. No chemicals or other inputs are required, although if you are currently using a dosing system, the ultrasound devices will simply improve water quality further, and it’s likely your existing dosing will not be needed (in time).
