Nanobubble technology for enhanced oil-bleaching
Nanu Water Tech offers a unique solid-state nanobubble technology that enhances oil-bleaching through hydrodynamic cavitation and gas-liquid integration. Ideal for removing impurities and manipulating surface tension for advanced separation.
Overview
Nanu Water Tech's innovative nanobubble technology offers a groundbreaking solution for the oil-bleaching industry. By integrating hydrodynamic cavitation, radial shear, and high-pressure collision of liquid jets, this patented technology is capable of pairing with any gas to generate micro and nanobubbles in liquid solutions. These bubbles have charged surfaces that attach to impurities, facilitating their removal from oil through skimming. Additionally, the technology can manipulate the surface tension of liquids, allowing for enhanced separation of particulates.

About Nanu Water Tech
NANU Water Technology Inc. is a climate-tech company founded in 2021 that specializes in affordable, scalable nanobubble generator technology. The company leverages additive manufacturing and 3D printing to produce in-line fluid fitting devices, known as Hyper, which can be integrated into various water systems. These devices allow for the injection of gases such as air, oxygen, ozone, or CO2 to improve water quality, enhance crop performance, and support industrial processes. By designing their technology as a component-based solution rather than a heavy, standalone system, Nanu aims to minimize manufacturing waste and provide a cost-effective, disruptive alternative to traditional nanobubble generators.
The company's technology is built on an ESG-focused framework aimed at mitigating climate change through reduced greenhouse gas emissions, carbon sequestration via direct air capture, and improved water efficiency. Their products are utilized across multiple verticals, including agriculture, environmental management, and healthcare, with applications ranging from modulating microbial biofilms to enhancing regenerative medicine solutions. Nanu collaborates with research institutions and industry partners to validate their technology's performance and impact, and they are actively pursuing carbon credit certifications. Based in Washington, the company provides these solutions to help businesses reduce chemical usage and lower their environmental footprint.
