Investigation of Market Potential and Collaboration Opportunities for Mainstreaming Nanobubble Technologies in Turkish Water/Wastewater Recycling Industry

Home / Projects / Investigation of Market Potential and Collaboration Opportunities for Mainstreaming Nanobubble Technologies in Turkish Water/Wastewater Recycling Industry

The “Investigation of Market Potential and Collaboration Opportunities for Mainstreaming Nanobubble Technologies in Turkish Water/Wastewater Recycling Industry” project is carried out by the Climate Research Association in partnership with The University of Maine and Arizona State University and funded by the US Embassy Turkey Mission Grant Program.

The overall aim of the project is to increase collaboration between US and Turkish scientists and industries on innovative water treatment/recovery technologies to improve climate resilience in water stressed regions of Turkey.

With the project activities to be carried out within this framework, the market potential will be investigated through the techno-feasibility assessment for the dissemination of nano-bubble technology as a water treatment/recovery solution to be applied in the arid and semi-arid regions of Turkey, and possible cooperation opportunities with the USA will be increased.

As a result of the activities and project outputs that will last for 18 months, the expected gains in the long term are summarized below:

  • Through technology integration and dissemination into the wastewater treatment industry, innovative water treatment/recovery can be realized to increase climate resilience in water stressed regions of Turkey.
  • Improvement of water treatment processes can be achieved more effectively by removing dust, chemicals, organic substances, metal ions, bacteria and oils from water thanks to nanobubbles.
  • Algae formation caused by the presence of phosphorus and nitrogen can be prevented and its consequences (mucilage formation) can be prevented.
  • While reusable water for industry can be obtained, pollution of the sea, lakes and rivers, which is a current problem in Turkey, can also be prevented.
  • Using nanobubbles instead of other chemicals or macrobubbles reduces the size of system elements, thus shortening processing times and reducing processing costs.
