Aquaculture – Oxy Solutions AS

One of the key benefits of Oxy Solution's venturi technology is the reduction in oxygen loss to the surface, which will result in lower oxygen consumption and, consequently, reduced operational costs for aquaculture facilities.

Elevating Aquaculture

Nanobubbles have unique properties that make them effective for gas transfer, water treatment, and increased productivity in aquaculture. They are stable in liquid and have neutral buoyancy, which allows them to remain suspended in water for weeks without rising to the surface. Nanobubbles can efficiently dissolve oxygen in water, making them an effective method for oxygenation in aquaculture, and providing a buffer of oxygen to prevent drops in dissolved oxygen.

They can also improve the performance of biofilters in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) by affecting the growth and thickness of biofilms and improving the efficiency of ammonia removal. Nanobubbles have other potential commercial applications in aquaculture, such as separating small particles and providing a protection for H2S surges.

Oxy Solutions offers a technology platform that can sustainably power the new aquaculture demands of the future, while reducing operational cost.

Application and added value of the technology

With 80 nm diameter nanobubbles as an average measured in our system, we can fit about 244 million nanobubbles into a single normal 50 μm diameter microbubble.

Oxygen Transfer Efficiency: that is 625 times larger than the surface area of the microbubble, Vastly higher than that of microbubbles. This means improved oxygen transfer efficiency in aquaculture systems.

Application and added value of the technology

Advantage of the platform in Aquaculutre

Stability: 80 nm bubbles are still small enough to exhibit the characteristic stability of nanobubbles, persisting in water for extended periods. Distribution: The ability to pack over 244 million nanobubbles into the space of one microbubble suggests a much more even distribution of gas throughout the water column. Energy Efficiency: Nanobubbles produced by Oxy Solutions’ technology will contribute to energy savings in due to their higher efficiency and longer persistence.
