The Patent-pending OxyJet® system can increase DO levels to over 20 ppm throughout the pond down to the sediment layer where it is needed most.

Oxygen is generated on-site and pumped into a specially designed water-oxygen contact chamber. Here, pumped pond water becomes super-saturated with oxygen and diffuses throughout the pond, all the way to the sediment layer where it is needed most.

This technology has distinct advantages over other aeration including being able to reach much higher DO levels, having low visual and audible impact, as well as being simple to install.

• Increase DO throughout entire water column
• Improve pond health
• Improve turf health when used for irrigation
• No unsightly splashing

The size of the bubble matters greatly for the application as we have noticed in our work. The fine bubbles (microbubbles) are critical for achieving precise results whether oxygenating a wastewater treatment plant, using aeration to biologically remove excess nutrients, or using aeration for fluid mixing.  Air bubble curtains applications that rely more on mixing and moving water also benefit from billions upon billions of microbubbles produced by Bubble Tubing®. Not only do bubbles transfer oxygen and decontaminate water by oxidation, but they also move and mix, clarify, and de-stratify water. Thus the same technology has many diverse applications.

Bubble Tubing® optimises oxygen transfer and lifts water which aids in total circulation throughout the water column.  As it functions without moving parts or electricity in the water, it increases performance efficiency while significantly reducing electrical and maintenance costs in comparison to other aeration systems.  This tubing, made of highly resistant yet flexible PVC, is non-kinking and holds no memory when deployed.

• Bubble Tubing® is flexible, it holds no memory and will not kink, is easy to install and is safe for the environment (does not contain lead).
• Made exclusively in Canada to our exact specifications, impressive 5-year warranty.
• High oxygen transfer rate. A full evaluation of the oxygen transfer capabilities by independent firm available.
• Applications range from farm ponds to the largest industrial projects.
• Suitable for fresh and saltwater applications, from shallow to deep waters.
• Inner pressure prevents clogging; tubing is low maintenance, anti-fouling.
• No moving parts or electricity in the water.
• Highly resistant PVC (chemicals, salinity, temperature).
• Weighted and non-weighted formats available.
• Tubing can be purchased with all the necessary hardware, ready to be installed.

Compressed air enters the tubing creating an inner pressure. It is released through the perforations thanks to the precision holes found along both sides of the entire length of tubing.   The ensuing micro-bubbles are efficient in preventing clogging and fouling (typically found in porous diffusers), of the entire length of tubing.  They form a bubble curtain of uniform and evenly dispersed fine bubbles.

No matter the scale of operations the same basic principle applies: A compressor’s heat hose is attached to the airline delivery hose which itself is connected to the Bubble Tubing® equipped with a check valve. The compressor pushes the air through both the feeder hose and the diffuser tubing that releases the air uniformly into the water.

We offer all the necessary products from start to finish, to fully set-up a reliable and efficient aeration system for you. We can size the compressor for the application, suggest tubing layout, suggest cost effective design modifications, and offer to troubleshoot. Our experience designing aeration and deicing systems with Bubble Tubing® is substantial, and our expertise is sought for many aeration projects.

Bubble curtains also meet the requirement for containing silt and turbidity for in-situ work where sediment containment barriers are mandatory. When operating in a stream, river or lake, marine construction and dredging companies are required to install a physical curtain called a floating turbidity barrier.lick on picture to enlarge

These obstacles do not allow free passage for boats and work equipment. Whereas a bubble curtain does both: it allows movement of boats and equipment over the barrier while retaining sediment and other suspended matter. In this case, a bubble curtain installed from the stream, river or lake bed will mitigate the migration of silt and other suspended sediments through the water column.

Our Bubble Tubing® has proven to be very useful as a silt barrier and turbidity curtain during these applications. Also, in this article, research is currently underway to validate the effectiveness of bubble curtains in altering stream dynamics. Water currents in the outer curves of riverbeds are slower allowing for sediment deposition and accumulation.  Over time, a sand bank can be created, making shipping impossible without dredging under certain circumstances. By installing a bubble curtain in this outer curve, this creates a sufficient current to prevent sediment buildup.

These are a few of the applications for Bubble Curtains. We look forward to working closely with engineers, scientists and water managers to find bubble curtain applications to protect wildlife and the environment so projects can move forward in an environmentally responsible manner.
