Hydro increases dissolved oxygen level to 21 – 23 ppm (optimum level for growing produce) increasing microbe activity in soil to increase nutrient availability for the plant. Dissolved oxygen remains in water for over 48hrs.
Hydro purifies irrigation water eradicating pathogens and viruses and removes pollutants and contaminants (nanobubble buoyancy).
Hydro protects plants with oxygenated water when sprayed, removing spores/fungi and ammonia that causes disease and increases plant resilience.
Hydro removes biofilm in pipes without chemical additives.
Due to the oxygenation, the water is always kept “fresh” and eliminates biofilm reforming.
Demonstrated benefits when irrigating with Hydro:
Hydro2020 oxygen-infused ultrafine bubbles provide a high rate of oxygen transmission into water. The nanobubble gasification provides much more efficient oxygenation than aerator, or other technology, and delivers significant volume of oxygen consistently and evenly through a water column. The high stability of the bubbles results in oxygen retention until it is consumed. The efficient bubble generation process means that large volumes of water can be effectively treated using less energy.
When ozone is added there is a marked increase in generation of hydroxyl radicals, the most effective oxidative agent that can be safely used to destroy oxidisable and inorganic pollutants. Ozonation via nanobubbles increased the oxidation reduction potential (ORP), a measurement of the “health” of water. Once clean, remaining ozone degrades to for oxygen, which means that the only residue from this process is elevated levels of oxygen in the water.
The system can be automated and remotely monitored and controlled.
Hydro2050 provides the following benefits for aquaculture production:
Hydro water remediation technology benefits dairies with improved water quality for improved milk production and more efficient dairy wastewater management.
Hydro sanitises drinking water killing pathogens, bacteria, and viruses. By removing impurities and pathogens in drinking the water, cows will be healthier, and the water will taste better resulting in better milk production. Metals in drinking water can be oxidised out of solution and filtered out, improving palatability for stock.
Oxygenated water improves gut health and digestion improving the health of the animal. Experience in the US has seen both reduction of feed and shorter turnaround times of animals because of improved gut health as well as lower odour from piggeries.
Dairy wastewater has high levels of BOD, COD, SS and other contaminants including bacteria, pathogens, nitrogen and phosphates that are costly and complex to treat in traditional wastewater treatment plants.
Hydro advanced oxidation process is the strongest oxidant for the remediation of organic contaminants in wastewater and lifts the Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) of water.
Hydro can be easily retrofitted in the existing processes to assist with wastewater treatment and reuse.
Disinfection and Oxidation of suspended metals: Hydro creates hydroxyl radicals that kill single cell organisms (bacteria, viruses, spores/fungi) and lifts Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) of water. Hydro oxidizes soluble metals (rust) to be filtered out of the water.
Aerobic Digestion: High concentration of dissolved oxygen delivered through Hydro nanobubbles support more effective and even microbial action to digest organic impurities and pollutants.
The Hydro technology has been installed in multiple agricultural wastewater treatment plants for treatment, recycling, odour removal and aerobic digestion.
Hydro adds value by producing clean, healthy oxygenated water for animal consumption and destroys organic compounds, produces clarified water, and removes pollutants in animal wastewater, allowing water to be recycled and reused.
Oxygenated water improves gut health and digestion improving the health of the animal. Experience in the US has seen both reduction of feed and shorter turnaround times of animals because of improved gut health as well as lower odour from piggeries.
Hydro can treat animal wastewater ponds, killing organic compounds without chemicals and clarifying the water for reuse.
Hydro reatment allows safe water reuse for washdown areas and irrigating grazing land.
Post-harvest food cleaning whether for human or animal consumption is essential for food safety.
Present process requires pre-rinsing to remove loose dirt; cleaning with detergents; post-rinsing with clean water and disinfecting/sanitizing with chemical agents. This can compromise the integrity of the product, is water intensive and has workplace health risks.
Hydro ultra fine bubbles remove loose dirt (without need for detergents or post-rinsing required), is safe and conserves water. Oxygenation and the formation of hydroxyl radicals provides safe and natural disinfection and maintains product integrity.
