Water is essential for life—but did you know that tiny invisible bubbles in water, called nanobubbles, can make water even more powerful? These minuscule bubbles are transforming the way we approach water treatment, aquaculture, agriculture, and even recreational water systems.
In this blog, we’ll explore what nanobubbles are, how they work, and why IGS Water’s Nanobubble Generator is a game-changer for clean, oxygen-rich water.
What Are Nanobubbles?
A nanobubble is a gas bubble so small that it cannot be seen by the naked eye. Unlike traditional bubbles that rise to the surface and quickly disappear, nanobubbles remain suspended in water for long periods.
Their tiny size gives them a larger surface area and allows for higher gas solubility in water. This means they can deliver oxygen and other gases more efficiently, improving water quality and supporting life in and around it.
How Nanobubbles Work
The technology behind nanobubbles involves splitting gas into nanoscale bubbles using shear forces. When gas—like oxygen—is reduced to nanosize, it stays in water for a long time without degassing, maintaining high dissolved gas concentrations.
This unique behavior has several benefits:
- High oxygen levels: Nanobubbles can increase dissolved oxygen in water to levels far beyond traditional aeration systems.
- Long-lasting effects: Unlike regular bubbles, nanobubbles maintain dissolved gas over time.
- Enhanced contact area: More surface area improves chemical and biological interactions in water systems.
Applications of Nanobubbles
Nanobubbles are not just a scientific curiosity—they have practical, real-world applications across multiple industries:
- Aquaculture: Improves fish respiration, growth rates, and overall aquatic health.
- Agriculture & Irrigation: Boosts oxygen in water for better plant and turf growth.
- Water Treatment: Effective in municipal water treatment plants, wastewater treatment, and river/lake remediation.
- Environmental Management: Helps control algae growth naturally, reduces odor, and improves water clarity.
- Recreational & Industrial Water: Enhances water quality in spas, swimming pools, and bottled water systems.
In short, nanobubbles make water work smarter, not harder.
Why IGS Water’s Nanobubble Generator Stands Out
IGS Water’s Nanobubble Generator produces over 99% pure nanobubbles, giving you unmatched performance and efficiency. Here’s what sets our technology apart:
- No circulation or clogging: Works even with water containing high solid concentrations.
- High dissolved gas concentration: Maintains dissolved oxygen levels above 13 mg/L using air, and over 40 mg/L using oxygen gas.
- Low energy usage: Save up to 70% energy compared to other systems.
- Simple configuration: Easy to set up using a pump and our nanobubble generator—no special equipment needed.
- Versatile design: Floating and manifold units available, sized to suit your application.
- Environmental impact: Reduces odor and chemical use, letting nature do its work.
Whether it’s for aquaculture, agriculture, wastewater treatment, or recreational water, IGS Water nanobubbles maximize efficiency, improve water quality, and enhance performance naturally.
