Oil & Gas

Optimized Produced Water Treatment

SIO Nanobubbles superior interfacial conditioning of water provides enhanced oil recovery, reduces corrosive contaminants and improves downstream process stability.

Benefits

Enhanced Oil Recovery

Nanobubbles alters the water chemistry so remaining hydrocarbons separate more easily, increasing oil recovery.

Better Hydraulic Performance, Less Fouling

Nanobubbles strong negative surface charge breaks down organic materials, reduces microbial biofilms and degrades foul-causing sludge without requiring harsh chemical treatments

Improves Efficiency of Conventional Treatment Processes

Nanobubbles enhance the coagulation and flocculation of suspended particles and impurities.

Lower Energy & Chemical Demand

Nanobubbles provide more efficient gas transfer for less blower power, fewer chemicals and less maintenance

Bolt-on Solution

Works with your current system-no rip and replace needed. Enhances what you already have.

Interfacial Conditioning

The SIO Nanobubble system operates upstream of conventional treatment, reducing system variability and downstream chemical burden without replacing existing infrastructure.
SIO does not treat bulk water chemistry. It conditions ultra-thin water films (UWFs) that exist at every solid, biological, and colloidal interface in a water system. When those films change, system behavior changes.


Nanobubbles are used to enhance transport and persistence of interfacial conditioning effects, particularly in high-salinity and reuse systems.

How It Works: Integrated Treatment Train

Each unit operation is sequenced to maximize contaminant removal efficiency before the next stage, protecting membranes and thermal equipment from their most damaging foulants.

The SiO nanobubble stage is the critical differentiator — it conditions the water chemically and biologically before any reagents are dosed, maximizing chemistry efficiency and minimizing reagent consumption throughout the downstream train.

The Result: Fewer Surprises, Lower Costs

More Predictable Performance

By conditioning interfaces first, SIO calms the system and reduces the burden on everything downstream.

The net effect: fewer surprises, more predictable performance, and lower total cost to hit treatment or reuse targets.
