A case study of decreasing contamination in waterstorage tank and pipes with Alguma with ultrasonic transducers.
THE PROBLEM Summary analyses from assembly:
Contamination before treatment : 15 to 20 cfu coliforms/100ml
04/04/2016
Assembly Sonic treatment
10/05/2016
Citerne – no contamination (no germs, no pathogens)
27/06/2016
No pathogens, still germs
Chlorination done in citerne to disinfect pipes
07/07/2017
The chlorination will probably have left fragments of biofilm detached and washed along.
! All measurements were performed by an accredited lab LMI (industrial analysis lab) in Kortrijk.
CONCLUSION: No more sign of contamination was observed in the tank according to measurements by the water company. This also applies to the pipes, where no more contamination was observed according to measurements by Alguma.

Several studies have shown that contamination of pipes, tanks or other materials in contact with liquids is caused by biofilm formation. Microorganisms such as iron and clacium adhere to the biofilm and use it as a basis for adhesion. Learn more by reading this blog!

In the chicken industry, biofilm is a common problem. This thin layer of bacteria adheres to water pipes, which can cause infections and diseases in chickens. To tackle this problem, ultrasound is increasingly being used.
