Nanobubble transformation of water treatment

Nanobubble transformation of water treatment Professor Niall English discusses the challenges and advancements in water treatment, highlighting AquaB Nanobubble Innovations’ breakthrough nanobubble-generation technology, which offers a more sustainable solution for water treatment across various sectors. The world is facing ever more challenging problems in water treatment, especially given the ongoing high cost of aeration for activated- sludge treatment – but also for Dissolved-Air Flotation and even more dramatically in the area of environmental water treatment (e.g., treatment of algal blooms in reservoirs and lakes, in view of UN record- breaking increasing temperatures in recent decades). In this increasingly urgent context of climate change, and given the quest for more sustainable solutions in water treatment across various disparate sectors – especially in those with already-large energy requirements (e.g., in the gas and oil industries), AquaB Nanobubble Innovations Ltd has made substantial techno-commercial strides in recent years with its breakthrough nanobubble-generation technology, aided by UCD’s Prof. Niall English, who lead-invented and developed the underlying electric-field technology.
