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.

Common Questions

Common Question: Why switch away from a fine bubble diffuser aeration system and invest in a Water OX system?

Answer: No Need! Simply leave the old aeration techniques in place and supplement with the power of nanobubbles.

Common Question: Why are nanobubbles superior to traditional aeration bubbles?

Answer: Nanobubbles are extremely small, typically less than 100 nanometers in diameter, which is much smaller than the buoyancy-induced rising velocity. The Brownian motion of the surrounding water molecules causes nanobubbles to stay suspended in the water and prevents them from rising to the surface. This unique characteristic allows nanobubbles to remain in the water for an extended period of time, resulting in increased gas transfer efficiency and enhanced treatment performance in various applications, including wastewater treatment and aquaculture.

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.

30 years of water & wastewater experience
Infusion Technology is a San Francisco based company that specializes in pioneering innovative solutions for water and wastewater treatment challenges. In 2017, the group agreed to focus it's resources on developing affordable equipment solutions for the delivery of "stabilized oxygen" into our client's water and wastewater treatment systems.

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.

Golf Course Irrigation Pond Before & After Installing the Water OX

Before and After Algae Removal
Las Vegas, Nevada
Golf Course Irrigation Pond

15 days after installing the Water OX system 100% of the algae was gone. The smell was gone and the pond was restored to its natural beauty. This water irrigation pond has an average depth of 4 ft. and its surface area is 1/2 an acre. It is the healthiest it has ever been, and the course's turf has reached its highest level of play in the history of the course.
