Swirl Liquid Type: A pump is used to force liquid into the cylindrical generator body at high speed along the tangential direction, creating a high-speed swirl inside. The pressure drops generated by the liquid's rotational motion causes the gas sucked in through the small holes at the lower end face to be crushed by the shearing force in the central small hole at the upper end face, forming microbubbles.

Pressurized Dissolution Type:

Pressurized Dissolved Gas - Depressurized Gas Release: Air is forced to dissolve in water under pressure to form a supersaturated state, and then the gas is released again when the pressure is reduced, producing a large number of microbubbles. The size and strength of the bubbles depend on the conditions when the air is released and the surface tension of the water.

Pressure Dissolved Gas - Impeller Air Dispersion: This method directly uses the impeller assembly to disperse air and generate microbubbles, or combines pressure dissolved gas with impeller air dispersion to achieve the three processes of gas - liquid mixing, pressurized gas dissolution, and depressurized gas release in one pump.



Ultrafine-Bubble (UFB) Generator's main function is to generate and release a large number of micro-bubbles into the liquid. These bubbles have multiple functions in environmental protection applications. In the sewage treatment process, the micro-bubble generator can release a large number of bubbles, which can adsorb and suspend pollutants in the water, and then remove them by precipitation or filtration. Agricultural and fishery micro-bubble generators use specific technologies or mechanisms to disperse gas (usually air, oxygen, etc.) into water to form tiny bubbles with diameters generally ranging from several microns to hundreds of microns. These bubbles have the characteristics of small size, large number, and large specific surface area, which can significantly increase the contact area between gas and water, thereby enhancing mass transfer efficiency and chemical reaction rate. In the fields of agriculture and fisheries, these characteristics are widely used to increase crop yields, optimize water quality, and promote the growth of aquatic organisms. Industrial micro-bubble generators use specific technologies or mechanisms to disperse gases (such as air, oxygen, nitrogen, etc.) into liquids (such as water, oil or other industrial media), creating tiny bubbles with diameters generally ranging from several microns to hundreds of microns. These bubbles, due to their small size, large number, and large specific surface area, can significantly increase the contact area between gas and liquid, thereby enhancing mass transfer efficiency, chemical reaction rate, and cleaning ability.

In terms of product application, Environmental segments is the largest application, hold a share of 46.7%.



Main driving factors:

1.Environmental Protection Demands

Wastewater Treatment: With the acceleration of global industrialization and urbanization, the amount of wastewater is increasing continuously. UFB generators can improve the efficiency of wastewater treatment. The high surface area to volume ratio and strong oxidation capacity of UFBs can decompose organic pollutants in wastewater and reduce the content of nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrients, thus helping to meet the increasingly stringent wastewater discharge standards.

Drinking Water Purification: UFB generators can remove harmful substances such as organic pollutants and microorganisms in raw water without adding excessive chemical agents, improving the quality of drinking water and safeguarding human health. This is of great significance in improving the safety and reliability of drinking water sources, especially in areas where water quality is poor.

2.Agriculture and Aquaculture Needs

Agriculture: In modern agriculture, the requirements for water and fertilizer utilization efficiency and crop quality are getting higher and higher. UFB generators can be used in irrigation systems to increase the oxygen content in water, promote root respiration and nutrient absorption of crops, improve crop yield and quality, and help realize the sustainable development of agriculture.

Aquaculture: The development of the aquaculture industry is limited by water quality and oxygen supply. UFB generators can not only increase the dissolved oxygen in the water, providing a better living environment for aquatic organisms, but also decompose organic matter in the water, reduce the content of harmful substances, and reduce the incidence of diseases of aquatic organisms, thereby increasing aquaculture production and quality.

3.Technological Advancements

Continuous Improvement of Generation Technology: The continuous progress of material science and fluid mechanics has enabled the continuous optimization of UFB generator technology. For example, the development of new microporous materials and the application of ultrasonic and hydrodynamic cavitation technologies have made the generation efficiency of UFBs higher, the bubble size more uniform, and the stability better, expanding the scope of application and market demand.

Integration with Other Technologies: The integration of UFB generators with intelligent control technology and Internet of Things technology enables remote monitoring and intelligent control of the generation and operation process of UFBs, improving the convenience and reliability of equipment operation and meeting the needs of different application scenarios.



Main obstacles:

1.High Cost

Manufacturing Costs: The production of UFB generators demands high-precision manufacturing techniques and quality materials. For example, some generators require the use of special alloys to resist corrosion and high-pressure conditions, which hikes up the production costs. Moreover, the complex manufacturing processes, such as the precise control of micropores and the integration of ultrasonic or hydrodynamic cavitation systems, also add to the cost.

Operational Costs: UFB generators usually consume a lot of energy. In industrial applications, continuous operation leads to high electricity bills. Additionally, they need regular maintenance and parts replacement. The filters and microporous membranes in the generators, which are prone to blockage and damage, need to be replaced regularly, increasing the overall operational costs.

2.Technical Challenges

Stability and Uniformity: It is difficult to maintain the stability and uniformity of UFB generation. Factors like fluid velocity, pressure, and temperature can affect the size and distribution of bubbles. For instance, in large-scale industrial applications, the inconsistency of fluid flow in different parts of the equipment may result in uneven bubble generation, reducing the treatment effect.

Scalability: Scaling up UFB generators from laboratory to industrial scale is a complex process. There are many technical difficulties in ensuring the efficiency and stability of bubble generation in large-scale equipment. Some technologies that work well in small-scale experiments may encounter problems such as energy loss and reduced bubble quality in large-scale applications.

3.Lack of Awareness and Standards

Low Customer Awareness: Many potential users are not fully aware of the functions and advantages of UFB generators. In the agricultural and aquaculture sectors, some farmers and breeders are used to traditional methods and are reluctant to try new technologies. They may not understand how UFB generators can improve crop growth and aquaculture efficiency, resulting in slow market penetration.

Development trend of Ultrafine-Bubble (UFB) Generator:

1.Technological Innovation

Higher Efficiency and Stability: Research is being conducted to improve the efficiency of UFB generation and enhance the stability of bubble size and distribution. For example, the integration of advanced fluid dynamics technology and materials science will lead to the development of more efficient generators that can produce a large number of uniform ultrafine bubbles instantaneously.

Intelligent Control: The combination of UFB generators with intelligent control systems is a key trend. Through sensors and control algorithms, the generators will be able to automatically adjust parameters such as gas-liquid ratio, pressure, and flow rate according to different application requirements, achieving optimal bubble generation and process control.

2.Expansion of Application Fields

Wider Application in Environmental Protection: In the future, UFB generators are expected to be more widely used in soil remediation and air purification in addition to water treatment. For example, in soil remediation, UFBs can be used to remove heavy metals and organic pollutants in the soil, and in air purification, UFB technology can be used to adsorb and decompose harmful gases.

Deepening Application in Biomedicine: The application of UFB generators in the biomedical field will be further explored. They may be used in drug delivery, cell culture, and medical diagnosis. For instance, UFBs can be used as carriers to deliver drugs to specific parts of the body, improving the efficacy and reducing side effects.

3.Product Miniaturization and Modularization

Miniaturization: With the development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, there is a trend towards the miniaturization of UFB generators. Miniature UFB generators will be more suitable for use in small-scale laboratories, portable devices, and some special application scenarios, such as in-situ detection and treatment in confined spaces.

Modularization: UFB generators are likely to be designed in a modular manner, enabling easy combination and expansion according to different application needs. This will improve the versatility and flexibility of the generators, making it easier for users to select and configure the appropriate equipment.
