Understanding Nanobubbles in Water Treatment

What are Nanobubbles?

Nanobubbles are extremely small gas bubbles, typically 10-200 nanometers in diameter – about 1000 times smaller than a human hair. Nanobubbles have unique properties, such as a large surface area to volume ratio and remarkable stability in liquids, make them highly effective in water treatment. Research shows that disinfection and cleaning is enhanced when ozone is introduced as nanobubbles.

Conventional Gas Transfer

Traditional gas injection methods produce microbubbles, which are much larger than nanobubbles. Microbubbles are adequate in many applications, but nanobubbles offer enhanced performance by increasing solubility and retention time of ozone.

Why Are Nanobubbles Useful?

Enhanced
Solubility

Nanobubbles increase the solubility of gases in water, making them especially effective for ozone and oxygen treatment.

Continuous Treatment

Nanobubbles remain suspended in water for much longer periods, providing sustained water treatment as nanobubbles slowly release gas.

Improved
Disinfection

Nanobubbles boost microbial disinfection, increasing the availability of reactive gases to combat pathogens.

Better Water Quality

Nanobubbles enhance water clarity and reduce odors and tastes, even in challenging applications.

Eco-Friendly

Nanobubble technology is safe and environmentally friendly, relying on ozone and oxygen without harmful chemicals.

Ozone vs. Oxygen - Nanobubbles

Oxygen nanobubbles are excellent for creating high-quality, aerobic water conditions, but ozone nanobubbles offer distinct advantages:
