DIRECT BUBBLE TECHNOLOGY
*****************************************

Unlike conventional fine bubble generation technologies, the MicroGas™ technology is not based on the gas dissolution principle but on direct microbubble induction. This results in energy efficient systems that require fewer components to function

As a consequence, MicroGas™-powered plants are easy to install, operate and maintain and have the smallest possible footprint. MicroGas™ is the simplest and most energy efficient microbubble generator available on the market for flotation and gas transfer (O₃, O₂, CO₂) applications.

Flotation with MicroGas™
******************************
MicroGas™ generates white water for optimal removal of FOG and TSS without dissolving gas into water and hence no recycle stream is required. For this reason, MicroGas™-powered flotation plants can be designed with smaller tank volumes and footprints whilst keeping the required HRT (Hydraulic Retention Time) for an optimal performance. Additionally, our technology uses a fraction of the energy of conventional microbubble generating processes.

Gas Transfer with MicroGas™
******************************
MicroGas™ produces small size bubbles (40-60 micron) that allosws to have 600x more surface area than those of conventional diffusers. The larger gas-liquid interface combined with the slow rising velocity of the microbubbles enables MicroGas™-powered reactors to achieve much higher gas transfer efficiencies than competing technologies. They can be designed with minimal footprints and depths for an effective mass transfer of gases.
