In our ongoing efforts to enhance water treatment efficiency, we recently conducted a performance test integrating a 1 LPM (liter per minute) oxygen concentrator into the nanobubble generation process. The objective: to rapidly elevate dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in water—an essential factor for improving water quality across agricultural, aquaculture, and industrial applications.
Test Overview
Using the oxygen concentrator as the gas source, we observed a significant increase in DO levels during nanobubble operation. Although our current DO meter has a maximum readable threshold of 20 mg/L, the actual DO concentration exceeded this limit, registering as “+++” on the device. Based on system behavior and comparative benchmarks, we estimate the DO level reached 40 mg/L or higher.
This result demonstrates the concentrator’s effectiveness in accelerating oxygen saturation, especially when paired with nanobubble technology known for its high gas transfer efficiency and long bubble residence time.
Why It Matters
- Faster DO Enrichment: Ideal for time-sensitive operations such as aquaculture pond preparation or emergency water remediation.
- Improved System Efficiency: Higher DO levels enhance microbial activity, reduce anaerobic zones, and support healthier aquatic ecosystems.
- Scalable Integration: The use of compact oxygen concentrators offers a modular, low-maintenance solution for both mobile and fixed installations.
Next Steps
We plan to upgrade our measurement tools to capture full-range DO data and validate these findings with precision. Further testing will explore variable flow rates, gas types, and nanobubble configurations to optimize performance across diverse water treatment scenarios.
