Solutions

Built for the water you treat

One core technology, configured for the water in front of it — each NanoMAR system is sized and specified for the duty it has to run.

RAS & Aquaculture

Maintain high, stable dissolved-oxygen levels and reduce pathogen pressure in recirculating aquaculture systems — holding dissolved oxygen without chemical dosing.

  • Stable DO across the whole tank
  • Lower disease pressure
  • Denser sludge, less to handle downstream

Wastewater Treatment

Support aerobic digestion and accelerate organic-load removal. Nanobubble oxygenation holds dissolved oxygen high through the process while shrinking sludge volumes and odour.

  • Oxygen delivered where the biology needs it
  • Less sludge & odour
  • Lower aeration energy

Swimming Pools

Keep recreational water clear with a reduced chemical demand and a gentler experience for swimmers.

  • Up to 90% less chlorine
  • No harsh chlorine smell
  • Clearer, softer water

Industrial Water

Protect cooling towers, process loops and discharge streams from fouling and biofilm — chemical-free and continuously.

  • Biofilm & scale control
  • Cleaner process water
  • No chemical storage or dosing

Water treatment without chemicals, four ways

These four solutions look like different businesses and are the same physics. In each of them the job is to get gas into water and contaminants out of it, and in each of them the conventional answer has been to dose something — a coagulant, an oxidant, a biocide — and then deal with what the dose leaves behind.

A nanobubble system removes that second half of the problem. Gas-filled cavities under 200 nm dissolve oxygen, air or ozone into the water almost completely instead of venting it to the atmosphere, and the strong negative charge they carry lifts fine solids, oils and the organic films that become biofilm. Nothing is added, so there is no residual to strip out, no by-product to account for, and nothing to store or handle on site.

What differs between the four is not the technology but the constraint: what your water is doing, what it must not do, and what happens downstream if the treatment leaves something behind.

RAS and aquaculture

The most demanding of the four, because the water is a habitat rather than a stream. Dissolved oxygen is a control parameter, not a target, and the system runs continuously.

What the problem looks like

Dissolved oxygen that will not hold at stocking density or through a feeding peak, biofilm establishing where it should not, and infection pressure that rises with every degree of water temperature.

What changes

Oxygen held through the loop rather than at the probe, because the bubbles travel with the water instead of rising out of it. NanoMAR publishes 40 %+ higher oxygen transfer.

Where to read next

The aquaculture page covers the industry; the nanobubble generator pillar covers sizing and gas choice.

Wastewater treatment

Where aeration is usually the largest electrical load on the site, and where the business case is decided in energy per kilogram of oxygen actually transferred.

What the problem looks like

Blowers running flat out, a consent limit getting closer, tankage sized for a smaller catchment, and sludge volume that is billed by mass.

What changes

Transfer approaching completion instead of gas venting at the surface, plus 80 %+ suspended-matter removal by flotation without dosing a coagulant.

Where to read next

The wastewater industry page, and the NanVANN Pro unit built specifically for TSS, TOC and TAN duty.

Industrial water

Process and cooling water, where the load swings and the cost of stopping the line dwarfs the cost of the treatment.

What the problem looks like

Biofilm and scale in cooling circuits, a chemical dosing regime with its own storage and handling burden, and organic load that doubles within an hour of a cleaning cycle.

What changes

Surfaces kept clean by bubbles that reach them, and a treatment step that leaves nothing behind for the next stage or the discharge to deal with.

Where to read next

Cooling towers and water storage, food processing water, or the applications page for the mechanism behind each duty.

Swimming pools (see NanoSWIM)

Pool water is its own discipline: a fixed volume, continuous bather load, a public-health regime, and users who notice chemistry immediately. The same nanobubble physics applies — clearer water with a fraction of the chlorine — but the equipment, the controls and the regulatory conversation are different enough that they belong to a separate brand.

That work is carried out under NanoSWIM, which shares NanoMAR's technology and ownership. If your question is about a pool rather than a process, start there — you will get people who work on pools every day rather than a process engineer adapting an industrial answer.

How to choose

If you are not sure which of these describes you, start from the symptom rather than the category.

If the symptom is…Start hereBecause

Still unsure? The sizing calculator turns a dissolved-oxygen deficit into kilograms of oxygen per hour, which is the number every one of these conversations eventually needs.

Frequently asked questions

Can water really be treated without chemicals?

For a large class of problems, yes. NanoMAR nanobubble systems add only oxygen, air or ozone as gas, and achieve 80 %+ suspended-matter removal and 50 %+ turbidity reduction by flotation rather than by dosing. What they do not do is remove a dissolved substance that has to be physically taken out — that still needs a separation step.

Which solution applies to my site?

Start from the symptom rather than the sector. NanoMAR covers RAS and aquaculture, wastewater treatment and industrial water, with pools handled by the sister brand NanoSWIM; the table above maps common symptoms onto the right starting page.

Can nanobubble treatment be added to an existing plant?

Usually. NanoMAR systems are normally installed on a side stream of an existing pumped loop so they can be isolated for service without stopping the process. The constraints are space, power and pipework rather than the technology.

What is the relationship between NanoMAR and NanoSWIM?

They share technology and ownership. NanoMAR covers aquaculture, wastewater and industrial water; NanoSWIM applies the same nanobubble technology to swimming pools, where the equipment and the regulatory regime are different enough to warrant specialists.
