LG Sonic, established in 2011 and headquartered in the Netherlands, specializes in environmental technology solutions aimed at controlling algae blooms and improving water quality in various aquatic environments. The company's flagship product, the MPC-Buoy, utilizes ultrasonic technology to monitor and control algae growth without the use of chemicals, making it an eco-friendly solution for lakes, reservoirs, and water treatment plants. By integrating real-time water quality monitoring with data-driven algorithms, LG Sonic provides sustainable water management strategies that are both effective and environmentally responsible. Their solutions have been implemented in over 55 countries, serving industries such as drinking water utilities, hydroelectric power plants, and recreational water bodies, demonstrating a commitment to promoting clean water globally.
LG Sonic contributes to the preservation of natural habitats by leading the way in promoting a sustainable future where water resources are managed responsibly and with great care for environmental integrity.
Algae, essential in aquatic ecosystems, are causing harmful algal blooms due to human activities introducing excess nutrients. These blooms persist, intensify, and prolong, with many existing treatment methods being ineffective and some, like chemical dosing, worsening the situation.
LG Sonic advocates for a sustainable approach to managing algal blooms, avoiding the harmful side effects of traditional chemical treatments. They believe that these chemicals only worsen the precarious situation, disrupting ecosystems and compromising water quality.
Rising temperatures, acidity fluctuations, and nutrient concentrations are causing significant changes in the world's freshwater systems, impacting the functionality of mountain headwaters that supply nearly half the global population.
LG Sonic uniquely provides bathymetry analysis through remote sensing to determine water depth and topography of underwater terrain, including both historical data and predictions of future sediment accumulation.
Many regions worldwide are facing increasing water scarcity due to factors like population growth, climate change, and over-exploitation of freshwater resources.
