Oxygen Microbubbler Systems

Microbubbler™ is an inexpensive oxygen generation and delivery system that reduces the cost of dissolved oxygen to below $0.40 per pound. Depending on site conditions, typical oxygen requirements for biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons is 2 to 3 pounds. The cost of alternative sources of oxygen such as solid peroxygens can be extremely high in comparison.

Key Benefits of Microbubbler

Low Cost - The passive nature of the MicrobubblerTM Technology eliminates the large capital and operations/maintenance costs associated with active engineered systems such as pump and treat, air sparging with vapor extraction and continuous recirculation systems. Savings can be as high as 90% when compared to a pump and treat system on a net present cost basis.

Cuts off plume migration - The MicrobubblerTM can be applied in a barrier configuration to avoid further plume migration. This configuration is a fraction of the cost of other permeable reactive barriers and can be applied in deeper aquifers.
