Tank cleaning

Nano bubbles attach to dirt, oil and biofilm on tank walls, pipes and membranes, loosening deposits so they rinse away with less scrubbing and fewer chemicals. That means shorter cleaning cycles and less downtime.

Where it is used

Industrial membrane filters in dye and textile effluent plants
Food and dairy processing tanks and pipes
Water storage tanks and overhead tanks
Aquaculture tanks between crops

How it works here

Collapsing nano bubbles create micro-scale forces and reactive species at surfaces, which break the bond between dirt and the wall.

Their negative surface charge helps them attach to particles and oils and carry them away.

Because the bubbles stay in the water, cleaning continues through the whole soak, not just where water is sprayed.

What the research shows

Evidence from the field

Peer-reviewed study

Ozone nanobubbles for fouled ceramic membranes

ACS Omega, 2024

A dye-industry ceramic membrane was fouled to 608 L/h/m² flux
After four hours of ozone-nanobubble cleaning, flux recovered to 1050 L/h/m²
Foulant layer thickness fell and surface porosity rose from 59.9% to 63.5%

Using Oxynity

How we set it up for tank cleaning

Recirculate nanobubble water through the tank or pipe circuit during a soak
Use with a reduced dose of your usual cleaning chemical
A portable 1.5 HP setup can serve several tanks
Ozone-based cleaning is planned per project

Good to know: The membrane study used ozone nanobubbles. Air or oxygen nanobubbles mainly help through particle lifting; results depend on the type of deposit.
