Shellfish Ultrasonic algal bloom control
Hydro Synergy’s ultrasonic systems suppress bloom formation around lines, cages, and intakes, stabilising clarity and dissolved oxygen, protecting pumps and filters, and reducing chemical dosing. Councils and operators gain cleaner harvest waters, reliable flows, and traceable evidence through targeted algal bloom control.
Shellfish Farm Ultrasonics for algal bloom control
The diagram illustrates the typical placement of Hydro Synergy’s ultrasonic units within a dairy effluent treatment system.
-
Site Assessment and Water Profiling: We survey tides, flows, salinity, and farm layout, then profile nutrients and turbidity to set treatment targets.
-
Device Selection and Positioning: We specify DB Quattro G3 units and moor them to protect longlines, cages, intakes, and screens.
-
Power and Telemetry Setup: Solar or shore power with smart controllers delivers duty cycles matched to bloom pressure and seasons.
-
Frequency Programming and Commissioning: Our 20,000 frequency spectrum targets planktonic algae and biofilm for algal bloom control, while preserving stock welfare and acoustic limits.
-
Operational Monitoring and Optimisation: We log clarity, dissolved oxygen, and flow, then optimise angles, depth, and runtime for sustained biofouling prevention.
-
Reporting and Compliance Support: We provide evidence packs for councils, maintenance schedules, and training so operators sustain clean water, reliable throughput, and consistent harvest quality.
Technical Benefits Of Ultrasonic
In Shellfish Farm
01
Ultrasonic algal bloom control
Suppresses planktonic growth around longlines and cages, stabilising oxygen and clarity through targeted algal bloom control.
02
Targeted biofouling prevention programme
Prevents slime and macrofouling on nets, screens, and pipes, protecting pumps and flows via biofouling prevention.
03
Consistent water clarity improvement
Improves light penetration and settlement, reducing TSS and turbidity for consistent harvest conditions through water clarity improvement.
04
Chemical-free algae treatment equipment
Delivers broad-spectrum frequencies without chemicals, safeguarding spat welfare and operations using proven algae treatment equipment.
Measured Results In
Shellfish Farm Operations
Measurable algae
control gains
Reduced bloom events and turbidity improve grading consistency, survival and harvest windows through targeted algae control.
Lower biofouling control workload
Cleaner nets, ropes and screens reduce labour hours, fuel use and downtime using reliable biofouling control.
Stable water quality metrics
Improved clarity, oxygen and flow support uniform growth, minimise stress and protect intakes through proactive water
Energy-efficient ultrasonic treatment operations
Solar or AC options and duty-cycle optimisation cut running costs while maintaining continuous ultrasonic treatment coverage.
Regulatory Compliance and
On-Farm Safety
Chemical-free algal bloom control
Avoid copper dosing by deploying ultrasonics that suppress blooms around longlines and intakes, supporting consent conditions and safe handling through targeted algal bloom control.
Low voltage safety standard
Solar or AC units operate below 48 V DC, reducing shock risk around rafts and platforms, meeting maritime guidelines for low voltage safety.
IP68 rated construction
UV-stabilised HDPE floats and sealed enclosures resist salt spray, impacts, and immersion, ensuring reliable service life offshore and meeting harsh-environment expectations for IP68 rated equipment.
Maritime noise compliance assurance
Broadband ultrasound operates above human hearing, meeting coastal farm criteria, minimising nuisance for crews and neighbours, while maintaining safe duty cycles under noise compliance guidelines.
Aquatic life safety assurance
Frequency programming targets algae and biofilm while protecting stock, larvae, and native species, aligning with consent conditions and farm welfare policies for aquatic life safety.
Compliance monitoring and reporting
Built-in logs and sampling protocols document clarity, TSS, and operation, providing auditable records for councils and auditors under compliance monitoring requirements in shellfish growing areas.
