Turn Your Wastewater Ponds into Compliant, Cost-Saving Assets

Cut Total Suspended Solids, curb odour-causing algae, and hit discharge targets without relying on expensive chemicals or energy-hungry aerators. Hydro Synergy’s low-power ultrasonic wastewater treatment technology transforms every stage of your pond into a self-optimising process that saves you time, money, and regulatory headaches from day one.

Ultrasonic Pathway Through Your Wastewater Ponds

Your wastewater moves through five sequential stages: Anaerobic, Facultative, Maturation, Wetland, and finally a Tertiary Treatment Plant. A low-power ultrasonic transducer operates in each pond and runs continuously.

In the anaerobic pond ultrasound reduces sludge volume and speeds up dewatering. In the facultative and maturation ponds it disrupts algae and cyanobacteria, lowers Total Suspended Solids, and removes odour at the source.

The wetland pond then receives much clearer water. Ultrasound keeps the water column transparent so plants and beneficial microbes can strip out nutrients and pathogens with maximum efficiency.

Because every upstream stage arrives cleaner the mechanical tertiary plant needs fewer chemicals and less energy. The result is dependable compliance, lower operating costs, and a smoother pathway to your discharge targets.

Cut TSS Fast
 

Ultrasound agglomerates fine particles so you can remove Total Suspended Solids quickly, boosting clarity and efficiency.

Accelerate Sludge Dewatering

Sound waves densify sludge flocs, speeding settlement and shrinking disposal volumes, thereby saving you haulage and landfill costs.

Eliminate Algae & Cyanobacteria

Targeted frequencies collapse buoyant cells, preventing blooms, odour, and toxin risks while keeping ponds balanced.

Slash Chemical & Energy Use

Replace mixers, aerators, and heavy chlorine doses with low-power units that cut operating spend and carbon footprint.

Non-invasive and ecology-safe

Cleaner upstream flow means fewer corrosive by-products, lower maintenance, and easier discharge consent renewals.

Operational Readiness for Wastewater

20–250 kHz Targeted Frequencies

Every Hydro Synergy transducer sweeps a 20 to 250 kilohertz band that matches the resonant points of algae, cyanobacteria, and sludge flocs. The broad yet precise spectrum maximises treatment efficiency without cavitation, so hardware runs cool and lasts for years.

24/7 Silent

Operation

Low-power electronics and solid-state emitters let the units run day and night with no moving parts, noise, or vibration. Solar or mains options keep the sound field active regardless of grid constraints, maintaining compliance around the clock.

100% Chemical-Free Disinfection

Ultrasound collapses algal gas vesicles and stresses microbes, removing the need for chlorine dosing that forms hazardous disinfection by-products. Eliminating chlorine lowers handling risks and keeps harmful compounds out of receiving waters.

0 Aerator Hours Needed

The acoustic field replaces energy-hungry mixers, aerators, and back-flush jets, allowing plants to idle or decommission those assets. This shift cuts electricity use, spare-parts spend, and maintenance budgets while freeing up capacity for future loads.

Compliance & Safety: Six Wastewater-Ready Assurances

Meets NZ & AU wastewater discharge standards

Our ultrasonic process consistently keeps Total Suspended Solids, nutrients, and pathogens within Resource Management Act and Australian EPBC limits, helping you renew consents with confidence.

Silent operation protects communities & cultural sites

Floating or in-bank units run quietly and vibration-free. They respect surrounding neighbourhoods, iwi-significant areas, and staff work zones without the noise of blowers or dredging equipment.

Verified safe for fish, wildlife, and workers

Non-cavitating frequencies generate no heat or shockwaves. Long-term field data confirm zero harm to native fish, macro-invertebrates, or onsite personnel during continuous operation.

Chemical-free treatment removes hazardous permits

Eliminating chlorine, copper, and peroxide means there is no storage, handling, or dangerous-goods paperwork, yet you still control algae, sludge, and odour effectively.

Solar-ready design lowers carbon and trenching costs

Integrated panels keep systems off-grid and emissions-light, supporting council climate strategies and avoiding invasive mains isolations or cable runs.

Real-time telemetry keeps audits simple

Cloud dashboards log clarity, toxin levels, and power use in real time. You gain searchable records that satisfy inspectors and help you fine-tune treatment seasonally.
