Xylem Nanobubble Technology by Moleaer: Frequently Asked Questions
Nanobubble technology is transforming water and wastewater treatment by improving efficiency, enhancing biological performance, and optimizing separation. Below are answers to frequently asked questions about how Xylem’s nanobubble solutions work and how they benefit your treatment process.
Nanobubbles are gas bubbles approximately 2,500 times smaller than a grain of salt. Unlike regular bubbles that rise and burst, nanobubbles remain suspended in liquids due to their size and neutral buoyancy, allowing them to stay active in liquid for extended period.
Surfactants create stable emulsions that hinder separation and biological processes. Nanobubbles sequester surfactants and FOG to de-emulsify wastewater and support microbial growth.
Nanobubbles act as natural coagulants. Their surface properties enhance liquid-solid separation, especially in high-FOG waste streams.
Nanobubbles attract hydrophobic compounds like FOG and surfactants, shielding biological systems from inefficiencies and process upsets.
Nanobubbles improve nitrification and support faster growth of nitrifiers, enabling better effluent quality, increased capacity, energy savings, and faster recovery.
