NanobOx has developed a patented technology that generates nanobubbles of gases such as air, oxygen, ozone and carbon dioxide directly in water using an electric field. Nanobubbles are the smallest possible bubbles and offer the highest rate of oxygen transfer; the company says its method requires less energy than it takes to power a lightbulb, an order of magnitude less than competing methods. A particular focus is generating oxygen-enriched nanobubbles from ambient air, which NanobOx reports delivers an oxygen-transfer efficiency of 90%, compared with less than 20% for conventional aeration. Its first-generation products are being designed for water treatment in agriculture and aquaculture to increase yields and reduce input costs, with potential applications in wastewater treatment, industrial bioreactors and environmental remediation. Field trials are under way with horticultural and aquacultural producers and researchers in Europe, North America and Asia, and the company aims to go to market in 2024. NanobOx secured first-round funding of $1 million led by The Yield Lab, with DeepIE Ventures and Growing Capital, to complete field trials and support commercialization.
