Moleaer Helps Big Tex Urban Farms Donate More to Local Community with Oxygen Nanobubbles
LOS ANGELES, October 2, 2018 - Moleaer, the leading manufacturer of industrial-scale nanobubble generators, announces that the Big Tex Urban Farms has installed its Boost nanobubble generator to increase crop production. Throughout the growing season, Big Tex Urban Farms donates all its produce to local Dallas area organizations.
Big Tex Urban Farms wanted to incorporate an innovative solution that would help them grow more food per square foot to provide more produce to their local community. After evaluating several options, they chose Moleaer's nanobubble generator. The generator boosts the deep-water culture's dissolved oxygen content through oxygen-enriched nanobubbles. When roots are exposed to oxygen-enriched nanobubbles combined with elevated dissolved oxygen content, they can absorb nutrients more effectively, translating into higher yields and ultimately, more food for the local community.
When Big Tex Urban Farms lost power, temperatures in the greenhouse soared above 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The nanobubble-infused water was able to mitigate the effects. Nanobubbles are unique because they are neutrally buoyant and remain suspended in water for long periods of time. In this capacity, they act like a battery, maintaining dissolved oxygen in the water beyond the point of aeration. When the farm lost power, the nanobubbles saved the crop by keeping the plants healthy until power was restored. The tank that did not incorporate a nanobubble generator experienced significant losses, demonstrating a unique benefit of nanobubbles in high-temperature applications.
"Big Tex Farms State Fair Project is all about growing, harvesting, and donating produce. We give everything that we grow away to the local community," said Drew Demler, Director of Horticulture at the State Fair of Texas. "We are trying to feed people and we think that the Moleaer nanobubble system is going to be a big part of how we can get more fresh produce to South Dallas."

About Moleaer
Moleaer (Latin for tiny air) is a Los Angeles based company that develops industrial scale nanobubble generators to enhance a wide range of processes. Nanobubbles do not float, have immense surface area and stay suspended in water for long periods of time resulting in an unprecedented high rate of gas transfer. These extraordinary properties are proven to help farmers grow more food, oil and mining companies recover more valuable resources and operators treat wastewater more cost effectively.
