Ultrafine Bubble Generation Technology Application
and Development Patented

Contributing to many fields
with Ultra Fine Bubbles

"Ultra Fine Bubbles※1" are invisible to the naked eye and retain many properties that make them very unique. They do not float and instead exist in the water while possessing negative surface charges.
At the Maebashi Office we are conducting research on the formation mechanism of these bubbles, and applying that research in various applications. This research has allowed us to produce millions of these bubbles per mL※2 using a completely portable technology. ※3
Our research is done both independently and in collaboration with academic institutions throughout Japan.

※1 Ultra Fine Bubbles are bubbles with a diameter of less than 1 micrometer, smaller than fine bubbles with a diameter of less than 100 micrometers (ISO20480-1).

※2 The concentration of Ultra Fine Bubbles varies depending on the water quality, and the number of circulation cycles.

※3 This technology has been patented in Japan and overseas.

Bathing Assistance / Building Maintenance Applications

We are developing products that enable people to wash themselves gently without the need for harsh detergents ,
and that are also designed for building cleaning and maintenance. These products are already being used by our
customers in Japan and abroad. We are continuing to develop peripheral options based on interactions with our
customers.

Primary Industrial Applications

We are also bringing UFB innovation to the fishery industry. By using Ultra Fine Bubbles, it is possible to achieve high oxygen dissolution efficiency and a high dissolved oxygen concentration of over 100%.
As an application in the aquaculture field we can expect a reduction in mortality rate, and improved growth rates. This also improves and maintains freshness when used to clean marine life after they have been caught.

In the agricultural field, it is expected to improve the growth rate and increase the yield especially in hydroponic cultivation. By using various gases we expect Ultra Fine Bubbles to reduce the risk of diseases and improve food safety by treating water within the agriculture sector.
These effects are not achieved by simply introducing Ultra Fine Bubbles, but by maximizing their potential when interacting within a given environment.
We are working on total development, and aim to establish technologies that are adaptable for these various environments and scalable to solve a variety of problems within the food and agriculture industry.
