Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, forms in drinking water supplies in Australia and can cause water-quality problems. Current methods to treat blue-green algae involve the use of Copper Sulphate, which is not an environmentally friendly compound. A potential alternative environmentally friendly water-treatment method involves the use of ultrasound to disrupt the cyanobacteria. The aim of this project is to determine the physical properties of the cyanobacteria when excited with ultrasound for the purpose of finding an efficient method to treat large volumes of water.

蓝绿藻，也被称为蓝藻，在澳大利亚的饮用水供应中形成，并可能导致水质问题。目前处理蓝绿藻的方法涉及使用硫酸铜，这不是一种环保化合物。一种潜在的替代环境友好的水处理方法涉及使用超声波来破坏蓝细菌。该项目的目的是确定超声波激发时蓝藻的物理特性，以找到一种有效的方法来处理大量的水。
