From helping a client with a telephone call to examining

water samples from their private pond, LG Sound will always

provide the best service to keep her clients satisfied.

Service is one of our highest priorities.

How does the LG Sonic solution work?

he LG Sonic solution consists of

different devices, which are all made to Tfit it’s own purpose. Although all ®LG Sonic devices have different strengths

and are made for different appliances, the

technique relies on the same basis.

he ultrasound waves are produced in ®our electrical box. Our LG Sonic Ttransducer emits sound waves through

the water in a radius of nearly 180°. Algae,

within the range of the transducer, will start

oscillating at the frequencies of the sound

waves. When brought in resonance an algal

cell will not be able to sustain some

compartments within the cell, these effected

compartments can damage or even rupture,

causing severe stress to the algal cell. The

exact reaction of an algal cell to ultrasound

depends on the type of algae. A very common

differentiation between algae is between green

algae and blue-green algae, also known as

cyanobacteria.

reen algae share many characteristics

with plant cells. As in plants, green Galgae posses a vacuole surrounded by

a tonoplast, a cell membrane attached to a cell

wall and chlorophyll, in charge of

photosynthesis. As an effect of ultrasound, the

tonoplast of green algae can rupture, releasing

the contents of the vacuole to the inner cell.

Besides this, the adhesion of the cell

membrane and the cell wall can damage.

lue-green algae are in fact one of the

oldest bacteria. These bacteria share

some characteristics with a plant cell as Bwell. For example, the capability to produce

energy by absorbing light, called

photosynthesis. Blue-green algae are capable

of travelling through the water vertically due to

their possession of gas-vesicles. The ®ultrasound waves from the LG Sonic rupture

these gas vesicles, making the blue-green

algae sink to the bottom and possibly die by

lack of (sun)light.

The formation of algae, biofilm and the occurrence of

high bacterial concentrations are a concern for the

treatment of a cooling tower. Algae grow in the

cooling tower itself and on the grids. In addition to

micro-organisms and biofilm, they reduce the

efficiency of the cooling tower. Furthermore, the risk

of spreading Legionella is a serious factor to be

reckoned with. Besides reducing algal growth ®efficiently, the LG Sonic solution has also proven to

reduce bacterial concentrations and the formation of

biofilm.

Cooling Towers

Wastewater is any water that has suffered in

quality by human intervention. Often,

wastewater is treated for re-use as drinking

water or for other purposes. As high levels of

nutrition are available in these waters, algae

can grow to high concentrations. Also the

growth of other micro-organisms such as

bacteria can increase drastically. Besides ®fighting the algae, the LG Sonic solution

provides an additional method for the

reduction of Nitrates, sulphates, phosphates

and many other components. Due to the

reductions of these components, the ®LG Sonic solution has already proven it’s

effectiveness in waste water treatment.

Waste water treatment.

Benefits:

o Reduces and controls the amount of unicellular and blue-green algae in the water in an efficient, cost-effective manner.

o Prevents further algal growth.o Stimulates bacteria in clearing the water of

unwanted components.o Reduces certain bacterial concentrations. o Reduces physico-chemical components.o Reduces biological components.o Reduces sludge.o Does not harm the environment.o Chemical treatment can be reduced.

Benefits:

IrrigationWater used for irrigation

contains, whether naturally

or after reclaiming it from

waste water, high levels of

nutrients. These are

beneficial to the plants

watered, but also to the

growth and bloom of algae.

The algae can clog the

irrigation system and

spread over the irrigated ®area. LG Sonic removes

algae on an efficient and

environmentally friendly

basis where traditional

methods are either

insufficient, cumbersome,

environmentally unfriendly

or all of these.

o Reduces and controls the amount of unicellular, blue-green, and some filamentous algae, in the water in an efficient, cost-effective manner.

o Prevents further algal growth in water.

o Diminishes the foul odours caused by cyanobacteria by prevention and/or reduction of the formation of geosmins produced by cyanobacteria.

o Enhances the effect of UV installations and reduces their power consumption.

Aquaculture, or aqua farming, is the cultivation of aquatic

organisms, such as fish or shrimps, in a controlled

environment. When this happens in a closed water

container, algae may occur that pollute the water and

damage the organisms grown. By inhibiting algal growth, ®the LG Sonic solution establishes a healthier water

quality in fish ponds which makes it possible to reach a

higher biomass of the fish.

Aquaculture

o Does not harm fish, zooplankton, prawns, shrimps, water plants,and other types of life present in the water.

o Reduces and controls the amount of algae in the water in an efficient, cost-effective manner.

o Improves the taste of fish, prawns, shrimps etc. by prevention and/or reduction of the formation of geosmins produced by cyanobacteria.

o Reduces toxins by enhancing the degradation rate of toxins produced by the blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), but primarily by the control of blue-green algae itself.

o Reduces competition in the water (for example for oxygen) which reduces stress levels for the animals grown.

o Enhances the growth of fish as they will find their food easier, due to clearer water.

Benefits:

Benefits:

Swimming pools

A swimming pool should be

clear and look fresh. Algae

colour the water green and

can become a health risk to

its owner because of the

toxin production of some

blue-green algae. The

usage of chlorine in a

swimming pool removes

the algae but has its own ®health risks. The LG Sonic

successfully fights algae

and biofilm on an

environmentally friendly

basis without giving a bad

odour to the water.

o Reduces and controls the amount of unicellular and blue-green algae in the water in an efficient, cost-effective manner.

o Prevents further algal growth in the water.

o Diminishes the need for chemicals and large quantities of chlorine.

o Does not harm the environment.o Low energy consumption.o Easy to install and maintain.

Benefits:

(Fish) pondsPonds, whether man-made or all natural, are

characterized by stagnant water. Where water

doesn't move, algae may occur. Besides the fact that

algae look unattractive in ornamental ponds they

can also be harmful for the existing plants and fish,

in addition many traditional methods of fighting

algae may also harm the plants and fish when ®chemical treatment is involved. The LG Sonic

provides a safe and environmentally friendly

approach to remove algae efficiently from a pond.o Reduces and controls the amount

of algae in the water in an efficient, cost-effective manner.

o Prevents further algal growth.o Does not harm water plants, fish,

frogs, zooplankton, prawns, shrimps and other types of life present in the water.

o Does not harm the environment.o Chemical treatment can be

reduced.
