The Science of Nanobubbles

Nanobubbles are sub-200 nm gas domains with near-neutral buoyancy and high stability in aqueous systems. Their large surface area and unique interfacial properties enable prolonged residence time, enhanced gas dissolution, and improved mass transfer efficiency.

The Science That Keeps Nanobubble Suspended

NICO Nanobubbles remain suspended and stable in water due to Brownian Motion, the continuous, random movement of particles caused by collisions with surrounding water molecules.

Unlike larger bubbles that rise and burst, nanobubbles are small enough for this motion to counteract buoyancy, preventing them from floating to the surface.

This results in long-lasting stability, uniform dispersion, and highly efficient delivery of dissolved gases across water treatment applications.

Engineered at the Nanoscale

At less than 200 nanometers, nanobubbles are invisible to the naked eye. Thousands can fit across a human hair, yet this extreme miniaturization enables unique physicochemical properties that drive superior stability, oxygen transfer, and performance.
