While surfactants and QACs (quats) help to clean, they also stabilize emulsions of oil and water making them difficult to break down in wastewater. This can lead to fatberg formation. In fact, concentrations exceeding 15 mg/L of a common surfactant, sodium lauryl sulfide (SLS), can reduce oxygen transfer efficiency by 50%, compared to clean water. Until now, there hasn't been a chemical-free way to remove or inactivate these contaminants.
Enter nanobubble technology from Moleaer. Nanobubbles, when deployed in the right locations, have unique characteristics that can break down and remove surfactants. This reduces their concentrations, enhancing the treatment ability of wastewater plants, without any drawbacks. Watch this video to learn how this unique technology is helping wastewater plants around the world recover treatment efficiency and capacity while reducing the cost to treat.
