NanobOx Ltd

NanobOx is an Irish technology company that has developed a patented, energy-efficient method for generating nanobubbles in water. Their technology utilizes a low-voltage electric field to produce pure, long-lasting nanobubbles directly from dissolved gases such as air, oxygen, or carbon dioxide. By eliminating the need for moving parts, membranes, or external oxygen tanks, the system achieves high oxygen-transfer efficiency while consuming minimal power, often cited as less energy than a standard lightbulb. This approach is designed to be easily retrofitted for various applications and is noted for its robustness and ability to operate effectively in diverse water conditions.

The company focuses on enhancing productivity and sustainability across multiple industries, with a primary emphasis on agriculture and aquaculture. For growers and farmers, the technology is used to enrich irrigation water, which can accelerate crop growth, increase yields, and reduce the need for fertilizers. In aquaculture, the system helps maintain water quality, improve fish health, and reduce mortality rates by providing cost-effective oxygenation. Beyond these sectors, NanobOx targets broader applications including industrial bioreactors, wastewater treatment, and environmental remediation. The company has conducted field trials with international partners and was founded as a spin-out from University College Dublin.
