Innovative Nanobubble System Boosts Oxygen Levels in Aquaponics and Water Treatment

November 2024

Fine Bubble Technologies (FBT), a leading water treatment supplier, is advancing sustainability in agriculture and aquaculture with its innovative nanobubble system. The system, which enhances water treatment efficiency, is particularly beneficial in water-scarce regions like South Africa, where water management is critical. According to CEO Paul Botha, FBT's nanobubble technology has the potential to address broader water treatment challenges.

In aquaponics, where maintaining optimal dissolved oxygen (DO) levels is crucial for the growth of both fish and plants, FBT’s system stands out. Traditional aeration methods often fail to maintain stable DO levels, especially in densely stocked systems. However, FBT’s nanobubble system generates an impressive 222 million bubbles per milliliter of water. These bubbles, each smaller than 100 nanometers, stay suspended in water longer and dissolve more oxygen, providing a more effective and sustainable solution for aquaponics and beyond.
