Salmon Farm Ultrasonic Algae Control Process
Hydro Synergy applies advanced salmon farm algae control through ultrasonic technology to stabilise water quality and protect fish health in both sea pens and freshwater hatcheries.
The process begins with ultrasonic units strategically deployed around pens where algae growth is most likely. These devices transmit thousands of targeted frequencies into the water column, disrupting harmful algal cells before they multiply and create toxic blooms.
Ultrasonic Deployment in a
Salmon Farm
The diagram illustrates the typical placement of Hydro Synergy’s ultrasonic units within a salmon farming operation to control algae and improve water quality.
-
Salmon Pens: Floating pens or cages house the salmon stock. These areas are highly vulnerable to harmful algal blooms, reduced oxygen, and biofouling risks.
-
Surrounding Waters: Ultrasonic devices stabilise nearby water conditions, reducing harmful algae before they enter salmon pens and impact fish health or feed efficiency.
-
Freshwater Intake: Clean water is maintained for hatcheries and land-based facilities, preventing algal growth that could clog pipes and stress juvenile salmon.
-
Ultrasonic Device: Units are deployed around pens, powered by solar or AC. The transducers emit frequencies that:
-
Disrupt harmful algal cells
-
Reduce biofilm on nets and infrastructure
-
Improve dissolved oxygen conditions
-
Enhance salmon welfare and reduce mortality
-
This setup is ideal for both marine and freshwater salmon operations, supporting chemical-free, low-energy, and environmentally compliant aquaculture water management.
Technical Benefits of Ultrasonic
in Salmon Farm
01
Ultrasonic Biofilm Prevention System
Ultrasonic biofilm prevention in salmon farms reduces microbial buildup on nets, pens, and water infrastructure, ensuring cleaner surfaces and stable water quality performance.
02
Algae and Cyanobacteria Control
Targeted ultrasonic algae control disrupts harmful cells, preventing bloom outbreaks and protecting fish health while maintaining safe water conditions for aquaculture operations.
03
Improved Flow Efficiency Solution
Ultrasonic frequencies maintain cleaner water flows in salmon farms, reducing blockages, minimising sediment accumulation, and protecting overall aquaculture efficiency.
04
Chemical-Free Water Treatment
Hydro Synergy’s chemical-free treatment safeguards salmon health, reduces chemical dependency, and supports compliance while promoting sustainable environmental stewardship in surrounding waters.
Measured Results in
Salmon Farm
Up to 85%
Algae Reduction
Ultrasonic algae control collapses harmful cells, protecting salmon health, reducing toxic bloom outbreaks, and ensuring consistent aquaculture productivity.
40% Chemical Usage Reduction
Reduced dependency on chemicals lowers operational costs, supports safer working conditions, and ensures sustainable salmon farm water treatment compliance.
30% Flow Efficiency Improvement
Ultrasonic treatment reduces biofouling and sediment, improving aquaculture efficiency across pens, nets, and circulation systems for reliable operations.
Up to 60%
Water Clarity
Consistent water quality improvement enhances salmon welfare, reduces stress, and supports surrounding ecosystems through stabilised aquatic environments.
Regulatory Compliance and
On-Farm Safety
Chemical-Free Treatment Compliance
Our chemical-free treatment avoids copper and algaecides, meeting discharge consent conditions and reducing hazardous handling, while supporting sustainable water management in salmon farming environments.
Low Voltage Electrical Safety
Units operate below 48 V DC, meeting strict electrical safety guidelines and reducing shock risks for workers maintaining nets, pens, and floating platforms.
IP68 Rated Construction
Rugged floats and housings use UV-stabilised HDPE and marine-grade fasteners. IP68 enclosures resist dust, moisture, and immersion in challenging aquaculture environments.
Noise Emission Compliance
Broadband ultrasound operates above human hearing, ensuring safe continuous treatment, supporting noise compliance, and minimising disturbance to farm crews and surrounding aquatic ecosystems.
Aquatic Life
Safety
Optimised ultrasonic frequencies target algae while ensuring aquatic life protection, safeguarding salmon health and surrounding species such as eels, invertebrates, and native fish.
Compliance Monitoring and Reporting
Sampling ports and monthly logs support compliance monitoring, enabling lab verification of water quality parameters for councils, auditors, and aquaculture regulators.
