Infusion Technology

The high surface area to volume ratio of nano bubbles means that they can provide a large contact area between gas and liquid phases, which can increase the efficiency of gas transfer and promote the dissolution of gases like oxygen into the liquid. This can be particularly useful in wastewater treatment, where the presence of dissolved oxygen can promote the growth of aerobic bacteria that help to break down organic pollutants.

Nano bubbles can also help to enhance chemical reactions, such as the oxidation or reduction of pollutants. The presence of reactive species, like hydroxyl radicals or hydrogen peroxide, generated by the collapse of nano bubbles during cavitation can promote the degradation of pollutants and improve treatment efficiency.

Algae thrives in a pond because deposited organics and nutrients are only partially degraded on the pond's bottom. The remainder of the nutrients and organics slowly rise into the water column, becoming the materials that give life to the algae. Once algae is present, it is difficult to eliminate. Failure to address this algal growth can negatively impact the health and diversity of the aquatic community, create odors and diminish aesthetics. Harsh metal additions (CUSO4) and other chemical herbicides provide only a partial solution, allowing algae to repopulate after a short recovery period.

The Water OX offers a permanent solution
The Water OX saturates a pond with microscopic oxygen bubbles that have no buoyancy. The elimination of the bubble rise rate coupled with their biologically available size allows the biological community at the bottom of a pond to switch from sluggish anaerobic bacteria to a more beneficial aerobic bacterial population. This switch in population allows for a complete digestion of the organics and nutrients, which effectively starves and permanently eliminates the algae.
