Ultrasonic Treatment for Dairy Operations
Hydro Synergy's ultrasonic units eliminate HABs in fresh water reservoirs and effluent ponds, increasing clarity and providing cleaner, healthier water. This chemical-free solution can also assist in dairy processing at the plant.
Ultrasonic Deployment in a Dairy Operation
The diagram illustrates the typical placement of Hydro Synergy’s ultrasonic units within a dairy effluent treatment system.
-
Dairy Shed: Effluent runoff originating from milking sheds and washdown areas flows into the effluent pond. This runoff contains high levels of organic matter, nutrients, and suspended solids.
-
Effluent Pond: The pond holds the effluent for treatment to eliminate HABs and high TSS.
-
Freshwater Intake: Eliminates HABs and ensures cleaner, healthier water without clogging pipes and adding potential algae into the Dairy Operation Shed.
-
Ultrasonic Device: Deployed in the ponds powered by solar or AC power the transducers emit frequencies that:
-
Disrupt algal growth
-
Reduce odour-causing biofilms
-
Enhance solids settlement
-
Improve pond clarity and reduce maintenance demand
-
This setup is ideal for anaerobic or facultative pond types, supporting chemical-free, low-energy, and council-compliant dairy wastewater management.
Technical Benefits Of Ultrasonic
In Dairy Operations
01
Reduce HABs
and Biofilms
Eliminates potentially
toxic microorganisms
02
Enhances Water
Safety
Ensures animals don't drink toxic water.
03
Improve Water
Clarity
Eliminating algae, Cyanobacteria and reducing TSS.
04
Chemical-Free
Solar or low-power AC (15 watts) for efficient trouble free operation
Measured Results In
Dairy Operations
Up to 70% reduction in suspended solids (TSS) within 30 days
Reduces algae microorganisms and therefore chemical intervention
Noticeable odour reduction and
algae cell count
Improves on-farm air quality and neighbour compliance.
Sludge build-up slowed
by 25–35%
year-on-year
Extends intervals between costly pond dredging or excavation.
Annual pump
maintenance costs
lowered by up to 30%
Clearer effluent reduces abrasion, cavitation, and clogging of transfer pumps.
Regulatory Compliance and
On-Farm Safety
Chemical-free technology
Generates no copper, alum, or peroxide residues. Satisfies regional council discharge consents under the NZ Resource Management Act (RMA).
IP 68, UV-stabilised HDPE & 316 SS construction
Corrosion-resistant and food-grade surfaces. Conforms to AS/NZS 4020 (materials for use in contact with water).
Non-invasive installation
Floats drop-in; no pond-liner penetration required. Retains existing effluent-pond certification and avoids engineering re-sign-off.
Tested 20–250 kHz non-cavitation frequencies
No audible nuisance to livestock or staff; safe for aquatic life. Meets NZ animal-welfare guidelines and Worksafe noise limits.
Low-voltage
solar platform
(< 48V DC)
Eliminates mains power hazards around water. Complies with AS/NZS 3000 electrical safety code.
Dedicated
Sampling
Port
Built-in outlet lets operators take quick grab samples for TSS / BOD lab tests, making monthly council compliance checks simple and safe.
