AQUACULTURE | Hydro Synergy

Hydro Synergy uses CSR-based ultrasonic energy, a non-cavitating, non-chemical method that disrupts the biological behaviour of planktonic algae especially cyanobacteria and green algae. Validated in salmon and finfish environments. This reduces fouling pressure around nets, supports clearer water, and stabilises environmental conditions essential for salmon and finfish welfare. Our mechanism targets algae without harming stock, infrastructure, or beneficial ecology.

Yes. In our validated deployments, CSR ultrasound has shown no adverse effects on the aquatic environment or on non-target organisms present within those sites. CSR operates without cavitation or destructive acoustic forces, making it a non-chemical, non-invasive tool for algae and biofouling reduction. For new species or production systems, Hydro Synergy conducts site-specific assessments to document safety and performance rather than assuming universal outcomes.

Yes. Excess algae drive extreme pH spikes in the afternoon and DO crashes before dawn, two of the biggest operational risks in aquaculture. By reducing algal biomass and dampening the metabolic cycles of cyanobacteria and green algae, Hydro Synergy’s ultrasonic algae control system or CSR ultrasound helps maintain a narrower, more stable pH–DO range, lowering the risk of ammonia toxicity, stress events in intensive systems, and sudden environmental instability in salmon and finfish farms.

Farms using CSR ultrasound have seen significant reductions in fouling accumulation, which in turn decreases diver workload and net-cleaning frequency. Cleaning intervals remain site-specific and are documented jointly with operators or distributors as part of each deployment plan. What we validate is the reduction in fouling pressure, not fixed cleaning schedules.

Hydro Synergy does not apply a fixed “one-unit = X hectares” coverage rule. System design is always site-specific, based on factors such as water depth, cage layout, hydrodynamics and historical algae or biofouling behaviour. Larger areas are supported by using multiple CSR ultrasonic units, configured to match the characteristics and operational requirements of the salmon or finfish farm.

Hydro Synergy’s validated aquaculture applications are in salmon and finfish environments. For other aquaculture systems, including shrimp or prawn ponds, Hydro Synergy conducts site-specific assessments to determine suitability and performance requirements. Any project outside validated sectors progresses through a structured assessment and monitoring framework.

Hydro Synergy’s CSR-based ultrasonic algae control system is installed as an independent, non-chemical layer within the farm’s existing water space. Integration focuses on engineering the correct placement of CSR units relative to cage geometry, depth, water movement and known algae behaviour around salmon and finfish sites. Because the system operates autonomously and does not modify farm workflows, installation centres on positioning and commissioning rather than changes to feeding or daily operations. Each site is designed case-by-case to ensure effective ultrasonic algae control in its specific conditions.

Maintenance for Hydro Synergy’s CSR-based ultrasonic algae control systems is intentionally light, which is critical for both aquaculture operators and distributors. Units require only periodic visual inspection and simple surface cleaning to remove natural buildup. An annual performance and health check is recommended to ensure consistent algae and biofouling control across salmon and finfish sites. As for Aquaculture Distributors, Hydro Synergy provides first-line service training, deployment playbooks, and operational diagnostics, enabling them to support regional farms confidently and build reliable service revenue.

Yes. Hydro Synergy’s CSR ultrasonic algae control system is a fully non-chemical solution that reduces dependence on algaecides, pH buffers, and emergency water treatments. By addressing the biological drivers of algae growth and water instability, the system helps salmon and finfish farms maintain clearer, more stable conditions with fewer chemical inputs. This supports ESG and sustainability objectives, lowers operational risk, and gives distributors a strong non-chemical technology to offer in regions facing tightening regulatory controls.

Aquaculture operators typically begin with a scoped pilot of Hydro Synergy’s ultrasonic algae control system, designed around a defined group of salmon or finfish cages with agreed monitoring points. This allows farms to validate algae and biofouling reduction under real operating conditions. Equipment suppliers and service companies can join Hydro Synergy through a structured distributor onboarding pathway that covers technical training, deployment methodology, system sizing for aquaculture environments, and commercial modelling. This enables distributors to confidently add ultrasonic algae control to their regional aquaculture portfolio.
