Water treatment supplier Fine Bubble Technologies (FBT) is making strides in the agriculture and aquaculture sectors with its nanobubble system, enhancing water treatment efficiency and contributing to sustainable farming practices.
The system has innovative applications, with the potential to address broader water treatment challenges, particularly in water-scarce regions of South Africa, says CEO Paul Botha.
FBT's nanobubble system is designed to improve dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in aquaponics, a critical factor for the growth of fish and plants.
Traditional aeration methods often struggle to maintain stable DO levels, particularly in densely stocked systems, but FBT's nano system generates 222 million bubbles per milliliters of water, while the bubbles – less than 100 nanometres in size – remain suspended in water for longer, dissolving more oxygen.
