Ultrasonic buoys
Ultrasonic buoys are an environmental technology that monitors and improves water quality in rivers and lakes through ultrasonic waves that control the growth of microalgae without using chemicals. In addition, they include sensors that measure parameters such as temperature, pH, and oxygen in real time, and by operating with solar energy, they provide a sustainable solution to protect aquatic ecosystems.

Ultrasonic buoys are an environmental technology used to monitor and improve water quality in rivers and lakes. They operate by emitting ultrasonic waves that control the growth of microalgae, preventing their proliferation without the use of chemicals.In addition, they include sensors that measure parameters such as temperature, pH, and oxygen in real time, sending the information to support decision-making. By operating with solar energy, they represent a sustainable solution that helps protect aquatic ecosystems and optimize water treatment.
