Indirectly, nanobubbles create conditions that make it harder for algae to thrive by increasing dissolved oxygen throughout the water column, leading to better water quality and improved oxidation-reduction potential (ORP or Redox), a measure of water’s oxidizing capacity to break down contaminants.

Nanobubbles help break up and disperse existing algae blooms by causing cell lysis or degradation through natural oxidation. This prevents the formation of dense mats of algae on the water’s surface, which can block sunlight from reaching deeper layers of the water and create oxygen-depleted zones. Nanobubbles also oxidize other contaminants to improve water quality overall, making lakes more resilient to algae blooms.

1. Improved Oxygen Transfer: Nanobubble technology transfers gas at a high rate of efficiency and nanobubbles promote the stability of the oxygen, allowing gas to penetrate the sediment layer and throughout the water column., Microorganisms in the muck receive more oxygen and this helps create an environment more conducive to muck digestion.
2. Increased Microbial Activity: The oxygen provided by nanobubble technology can stimulate the growth and activity of aerobic microorganisms that digest organic matter in the muck. This helps to increase the rate of muck digestion and reduce muck accumulation in the lake or pond.
3. Reduced Sediment Resuspension: When muck accumulates at the bottom of a lake or pond, it can become unstable and easily disturbed. This can lead to sediment resuspension, which can release nutrients and other pollutants into the water column. By increasing muck digestion, nanobubbles can help to reduce muck accumulation and stabilize the sediment at the bottom of the lake or pond, which can reduce sediment resuspension.

Nanobubbles can help improve key water quality parameters for lakes in the following ways:

Dissolved oxygen: Compared to conventional aeration which has a low oxygen transfer efficiency (1-20% depending on the technology), nanobubble technology has a high oxygen transfer efficiency, at over 85%, which means that it can help increase the dissolved oxygen levels in water much more effectively. This is particularly useful in lakes where low oxygen levels can lead to fish kills and other negative impacts on aquatic life.

Turbidity: Nanobubbles can help reduce turbidity in water by attaching to and lifting suspended particles to the surface where they can be easily removed.

Nutrient removal: Nanobubbles can help remove nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, from water by promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms that consume these nutrients. This can help prevent eutrophication and the harmful effects it can have on aquatic life.

Bacteria control: Nanobubbles have been shown to have antimicrobial properties that can help control the growth of harmful bacteria, such as E. coli, in water.

Metal removal: Nanobubbles can also help remove certain metals, such as arsenic and cadmium, from water by promoting their precipitation or adsorption onto surfaces. If Iron is present the increased ORP provided by nanobubbles oxidizes the iron and sequesters phosphorus, a contributor to eutrophication.

By getting more oxygen into the sediment layer using nanobubble technology, the microbial communities that live within the sediment can thrive, promoting the breakdown of organic matter and nutrient cycling. This can help improve water quality and clarity by reducing nutrient loading and promoting a healthy ecosystem in the lake. Additionally, promoting a healthy sediment layer can also help mitigate the effects of harmful algal blooms and improve the habitat for benthic organisms and other aquatic life.
