Lake Ultrasonic Algae Control (CSR)

Hydro Synergy applies low-power Critical Structural Resonance (CSR) ultrasound to suppress cyanobacteria and nuisance algae, reduce bloom persistence, and support clearer water without chemical dosing, dredging, or disruptive mechanical works. Outcomes are site-dependent and guided through assessment, configuration, and monitoring.

↑ Water Clarity — Visible improvement

↓ Bloom Pressure — Harmful algae suppressed

How CSR ultrasound works in lakes?

CSR targets buoyant cyanobacteria by disrupting gas vesicles. Cells lose buoyancy, sink out of the photic zone, and bloom persistence reduces. CSR also disrupts biofilm adhesion and supports natural settling of suspended solids, improving aesthetics and reducing infrastructure biofouling.

Deployment Strategy (site-specific)

  • Cyanobacterial speciation (microscopy or qPCR)

  • Bathymetric and flow mapping

  • Nutrient profiling + historical bloom records

Typical placements:

  • Land-based solar or SolaRAFTs (line of sight for sonic efficacy)

  • Along inflow points (pre-treat nutrient entry)

  • Near intake heads (protect downstream assets)

Ultrasonic Coverage and System Capability

800 meter Coverage

Large lakes require fewer units compared to typical ultrasonic systems

10,000 CSR Frequencies

Precision targeting across varying cyanobacteria species and lake conditions.

Solar Ready

Off-grid deployment suitable for remote lakes and protected environmental sites.

Commercial & Deployment Pathway

Step 1: Lake Assessment

Initial lake algae assessment to evaluate cyanobacteria risk, site conditions, and suitability for ultrasonic treatment.

Site Profiling_33kb.png

Step 2: Site Profiling

Detailed lake water quality profiling, including bloom history, bathymetry, and deployment mapping.

Ultrasonic Trial_26kb.png

Step 3: Ultrasonic Trial

Controlled ultrasonic lake algae control trial to validate performance under real site conditions.

Step 4: Commercial Deployment

Contracted ultrasonic lake management solution with defined monitoring and seasonal optimisation.

If you require ESG or sustainability reporting alignment, we can define the trial metrics and documentation format during assessment.
