TREATMENT OF RIVER AND LAKE WATER FOR ALGAE USING NANOBUBBLES

This study explores the innovative use of nanobubbles in treating river and lake water, focusing on the removal of algae and other organic pollutants. The research combines a comprehensive literature analysis with the development and testing of an autonomous water treatment system based on ozone nanobubbles technology. The methodology includes designing for constructing a catamaran-type vessel equipped with gas separation systems, ozone generation, and nanobubbles production. Experimental results indicate significant efficiency of nanobubbles in algae removal, with over 90% reduction observed, and substantial improvement of water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen and turbidity. The proposed system can treat approximately 66 m³ of water per hour, demonstrating the technology's potential for large-scale applications in water body management and restoration. This study contributes to the advancement of ecological and efficient water treatment methods, offering a viable alternative to conventional water quality management techniques in aquatic ecosystems. This study has no academic precision pretention in its application part: it evolved from the owner of the lake need of valuing its asset for business production and the author need of fishing passion and interest in solving the situation. Yet its findings are objective and accurate. It had no finance for equipment, works, laboratory analysis, or any other related activity. Data measurements was gathered with common water quality digital testers with 2% precision and did not follow the laboratory determination quality standards.
