Did you know wastewater contaminants like surfactants (tensides) and QACs are a pressing concern in wastewater treatment?

While surfactants and QACs (quats) help to clean, they also stabilize emulsions of oil and water making them difficult to break down in wastewater. This can lead to fatberg formation. In fact, concentrations exceeding 15 mg/L of a common surfactant, sodium lauryl sulfide (SLS), can reduce oxygen transfer efficiency by 50%, compared to clean water.

Until now, there hasn't been a chemical-free way to remove or inactivate these contaminants. Enter nanobubble technology from Moleaer.

Nanobubbles, when deployed in the right locations, have unique characteristics that can break down and remove surfactants. This reduces their concentrations, enhancing the treatment ability of wastewater plants, without any drawbacks.

Watch this video to learn how this unique technology is helping wastewater plants around the world recover treatment efficiency and capacity while reducing the cost to treat.

About Moleaer
Moleaer is an American-based nanobubble technology company with a mission to unlock nanobubbles’ full potential to enhance and protect water, food, and natural resources. Moleaer has established the nanobubble industry in the U.S. by developing the first nanobubble generator that can perform cost-effectively at municipal and industrial scale. Moleaer’s patented nanobubble technology provides the highest proven oxygen transfer rate in the aeration and gas infusion industry, with an efficiency of over 85 percent per foot of water (Michael Stenstrom, UCLA, 2017). Through partnerships with universities, Moleaer has proven that nanobubbles are a chemical-free and cost-effective solution to increasing sustainable food production, restoring aquatic ecosystems, and improving natural resource recovery. Moleaer has deployed more than 2200 nanobubble generators worldwide since 2016. To learn more, visit: http://www.Moleaer.com

About nanobubbles
Nanobubbles are tiny bubbles, invisible to the naked eye and 2500 times smaller than a single grain of table salt. Bubbles at this scale remain suspended in water for long periods, enabling highly efficient oxygen transfer and supersaturation of dissolved gas in liquids. Nanobubbles also treat and eliminate pathogens and contaminants of emerging concern as well as scour surfaces to break apart biofilm matrices, creating a powerful, sustainable, and chemical-free disinfectant (Shiroodi, S., Schwarz, M.H., Nitin, N. et al., Food Bioprocess Technol, 2021).
