Frequently Asked Questions
How much water can a single MK1 NanoBubbler effectively treat in terms of volume?
What is the estimated monthly electricity consumption of the MK1 NanoBubbler, and how does it effect energy cost over time?
| The MK1 Nanobubbler is designed to be highly energy-efficient, with the capability to run on solar panels, significantly reducing operational costs. With a low energy consumption of just 2.2 kW/h, it offers substantial savings on electricity, typically ranging from 50% to 90% annually. For comparison, replacing a 90 kW aerator with a 2.2 kW Nanobubbler results in remarkable cost savings. The annual running cost drops from R1.4 million to just R22,500, saving up to R1.3 million per year in electricity costs. |
Is the MK1 NanoBubbler suitable for treating wastewater for my vinyard, and how effective is it in addressing common contaminants found in agricultural wastewater?
| Yes, the MK1 Nanobubbler is highly suitable for treating wastewater in vineyards. Its advanced nanobubble technology effectively addresses common contaminants found in agricultural wastewater, such as organic matter, pesticides, and fertilizers. The nanobubbles provide superior oxygenation and help break down pollutants, improving water quality and promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms that can further assist in treatment. By enhancing the oxygen levels in the water, the MK1 Nanobubbler promotes the degradation of contaminants, reduces harmful pathogens, and improves the overall health of the wastewater, making it a valuable solution for sustainable vineyard operations. |
What kind of warranty and guarantee is provided?
| The MK1 NanoBubbler comes with a 1-year warranty, ensuring peace of mind and reliable performance. This warranty covers any manufacturing defects, giving you confidence in the product’s quality and durability. |
Do you offer installation and maintenance services for the MK1 NanoBubbler, and what does the service packages include?
| Yes, we offer comprehensive maintenance services for the MK1 NanoBubbler. The service package includes regular inspections, cleaning, performance optimization, and replacement of any worn components to ensure the bubbler operates at peak efficiency. |
The NanoBubbler™ in Action
The NanoBubbler™ creates 170 Liters of air bubbles per minute and produces three major categories of air bubbles:
Macro Bubbles
These bubbles are large and visible. They create movement in the water column as they rapidly rise to the top of the water’s surface. They attached to dead bacteria and other debris and lift them to the surface.
Fine / Micro Bubbles
These bubbles are much smaller but still visible. They remain in the water column for a short period of time (1 min- 1hour). Some of these bubbles will amalgamate with others and form bigger bubbles. Others will implode under the water pressure and the air will dissolve into the water increasing/maximizing dissolved oxygen. Dissolved oxygen is crucial not only for aquaculture but also for aerobic oxidative bacteria. The more dissolved oxygen in the water the more active are the aerobic bacteria in degrading organic matter improving the water body conditions.
Ultra Fine / Nano Bubbles
With most polluted water sources there is a thick layer of sediment at the bottom of the water column. This sediment is usually in an anaerobic state as little or no oxygen reaches this layer. The Nano Bubbles has the ability to remain in water and contact the sediment layer. At this depth air inside the bubble is dissolved into the sediment layer. This changes this area to an aerobic condition accelerating organic matter oxidation and decomposition and cleaning the sediment layer.
