Our Mission

Unlock the power of water to do more with less.
Our patented, chemical-free nanobubble technology improves sustainable food production and processing, and enhances water utilization across a wide variety of industries.
Moleaer is the global leader in nanobubble technology with over 2,000 installations in 42 countries.

Company Timeline

  • 2016: Founded in Southern California & patented nanobubble technology
  • 2017: First commercial nanobubble generator launched
  • 2020-2022: Multiple awards for irrigation solutions, crop enhancement, yield improvement, and water project impact

Technology Validation

  • Achieves over 85% oxygen transfer efficiency at any depth (UCLA tested)
  • Detected ~1B stable nanobubbles/ml, weeks after injection
  • Generation of hydroxyl radicals (ROS) confirmed

Fundamentals of Nanobubbles

Properties:

  • High internal pressure
  • Charged surface
  • Hydrophobic
  • High gas transfer efficiency
  • Neutrally buoyant
  • Stable & long-lasting
  • Oxidative, electrochemically active
  • Reduces surface tension

Behaviors:

  • 100nm size bubbles display unique properties and behaviors

Patented Technology

  • Compressed gas diffused into flowing water (25–1000 gpm) forms 200M–1B nano-sized bubbles/ml
  • Introduces dissolved gas and nanobubbles
  • Robust, scalable, easy-to-install, with best-in-class oxygen transfer efficiency

Nanobubble Generator vs. Alternatives

  • Moleaer Nanobubble Generator: >85% oxygen transfer efficiency, low maintenance
  • Alternatives (Cone, Venturi, Sparger, Diffusers): Lower efficiency, higher energy, frequent maintenance

Benefits of Nanobubbles in Cultivation

Soil:

  • Improve infiltration and drainage
  • Flocculation and salts leaching
  • Better rhizosphere health

Water:

  • Control algae, E. coli, and biofilm
  • Prevent mineral buildup
  • Reduce irrigation blockages

Plants:

  • Improve crop production and quality
  • Increase water and nutrient uptake efficiency
  • Better root and vegetative growth

Algae Control & Water Quality

  • Produces hydroxyl radicals and ROS to inactivate algae
  • No impact on non-target organisms
  • Stabilizes dissolved oxygen for healthy fish habitat
  • Raises ORP for metal oxidation and organic digestion
  • Reduces nitrogen and phosphorus, promotes aerobic bacteria

Surface Charge & Scouring

  • Nanobubbles attract hydrophobic surfaces
  • Anti-biofouling & scale inhibitor: binds contaminants, scours biofilm and algae
  • Disease control: inhibits bacteria, promotes beneficial microbes

Improved Water-Soil Interaction

  • Nanobubbles reduce surface tension and contact angle, improving water penetration in hydrophobic soils
  • Increased soil moisture and nutrient uptake, better root zone retention

Easy Installation

  • Adaptable to irrigation reservoirs, tanks, greenhouses, and high-flow systems

Primary Crops

  • Blueberries, Cherries, Strawberries, Tomatoes, Avocados, Citrus, Nuts, Flowers
