As every cultivator knows , algae , bacteria , and fungi thrive in silo and basinful , where alga and biofilm like to bind themselves to the basin and silo lining . Algae are responsible for the often greenish colouring material of the water , and this algae deposit has a electronegative impingement on pee quality and take to additional disadvantages such as choked filters , tobacco pipe , and drippers . The biofilm is the green goop layer on the side of basins and silos in which harmful micro - organism know and multiply for a prospicient clip .

With a USAF ultrasonic sender , it is potential to forestall this . The vector is hang up in the silo or basin and farm ultrasound that get cavitation , creating pressure sensation waves that kill alga and other micro - organisms without posing a danger to animals and other aquatic life story .

grant to Robert de Hoo from Ultramins , the exclusive distributor of USAF ™ ultrasonic transmitter , growers are increasingly knocking on his doorway . Take for example Frank Dekker ofDekker Glascultures , a love apple agriculturalist in Wervershoof . He has been using Ultrasonic since March this twelvemonth and Frank is extremely slaked with it . " In 21 years , the lavatory has never been so white , " says Frank . " We hardly ever have to clean the filter . Previously , we did this once a week at this clock time of class , now there was only a slight loss of pressure after 7 weeks before we cleaned the filter . "

Some six USAF transmitters in one of the silos

" And Frank is certainly not the only one , " tell Robert . " We are getting good upshot and our customer groundwork at home and abroad is growing speedily as a result . The sender can be tested for 30 days and , to escort , none have been give back . Moreover , the effect has been proven by various test results based on water sample distribution . late enquiry showed that even after 22 day of microscopical metal plating at Eurofins , weewee sample distribution did not show any harmful fungous spore .

VisualizingBoth Ultramins and the market expressed a desire to visualize the operation and the results of the transmitters . Robert de Hoo came into middleman with Jeroen Baris , co - owner of Bewijsrapportage.nl , which specializes in architectural inspection , noise and quivering measurements , and odor espial . Jeroen has an advanced acoustical camera with which both sound and get out energy can be made visible . For representative , the location of a compressed air leak or electrostatic dismissal can be precisely located . An example is the ' good picture ' below , which shows the sound of ' walking through the grass ' as sound is convert into pixels .

" We wanted to investigate together whether we could also show the operation of the USAF vector with this photographic camera , " says Jeroen . " heavy , air pressure undulation , cavitation , they are abstract concepts , but if we can really make seeable how far the supersonic pressing waves trip , then we have concrete evidence of how well they work out . "

Jeroen occupy a sound picture in one of the silo .

Robert and Jeroen put it to the trial and used the acoustic camera to take pictorial matter of a drainage basin in which a USAF sender has been placed . The exposure below express that the supersonic sender constantly institutionalise pressure waves that collide with any algae , bacteria , fungi , and virus present , killing these microorganisms . Because sound and energy are created by collisions , it is potential to see this process by means of the acoustical photographic camera . In the silo below , colored pixel are visible and they show the mathematical operation and effectiveness of the supersonic process .

ContrastThe result is distinctly seeable in practice , and can be seen below . Left the ( 21 - year - old ) basin of Dekker , right a ( much newer ) basin of a neighboring grower . In the basin of Dekker , one can see a USAF supersonic transmitter . The water in Dekker ’s basin is gauzy and there is hardly any biofilm along the walls .
