What Are Nanobubbles?

  • High Internal Pressure
  • Charged Surface
  • Hydrophobic
  • High Gas Transfer Efficiency
  • Neutrally Buoyant
  • Stable & Long-Lasting
  • Oxidative
  • Electrochemically Active
  • Reduce Surface Tension

Nanobubbles in Action: Surface Charge & Scouring

  • Strong negative surface charge attracts hydrophobic surfaces.
  • Anti-Biofouling & Scale Inhibitor:
    • Bubble surface charge attracts and binds contaminants
    • Biofilm is scoured from surfaces
  • Food Safety:
    • Prohibits bacteria from forming on surfaces
    • Promotes aerobic/beneficial microbial activity

Nanobubbles Modes of Action

  • Increase ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential)
  • Coat surfaces with nanobubbles to help prevent new biofilm formation
  • Reduce water surface tension
  • Physically scour biofilm from surfaces
  • Promote oxidizers efficacy in microbial control

Food Safety Benefits of Nanobubble Technology

  • Chemical-free microbial reduction on food surfaces
  • Reduction in water and chemical usage
  • Reduce fungal and bacterial load on product surface and in process water
  • Remove biofilm buildup & reduce clogging risks
  • Remove organic matter debris
  • Reduce fungicide load in discharge to public waterways through fungicide oxidation

NOVO3™: Superior Pathogen Reduction

  • Consistently achieve 4-5 log kill for common bacteria causing foodborne disease in humans.
  • Outperforms traditional solutions, including chemicals (typically achieve 3-log kill).
  • Ozone is a strong oxidant with excellent disinfection properties.
  • Fast-acting, residue-free, and leaves no harmful byproducts.
  • Nanobubbles extend ozone contact time, improving oxidative power.
  • Dual-action cleaning: oxidative strength + nanobubble scrubbing.

Benefits: Elevating Food Processing & Washing Safety Post-Harvest

  • Enhance removal of bacteria from food handling surfaces
  • Improve sustainable practices by reducing water & chemical consumption
  • Promote surface hygiene and operational efficiency
  • Reduce risk of cross-contamination

Benefits: Improve Clean-in-Place (CIP) Efficiency & Biofilm Removal

  • Enhanced biofilm removal: disrupt and prevent biofilm reattachment on stainless steel and plastic surfaces
  • Sustainable solution: reduces water and chemical usage
  • Improved cleaning efficiency: ensures coverage of hard-to-reach surfaces within CIP systems
