As a part of this 8-month pilot project, the City has deployed this small-scale nanobubble technology installation to revitalize water quality in the marina and demonstrate the technology’s efficacy for lagoon restoration.

Challenges in the Indian River Lagoon and the City of Titusville Westland Marina:

The lagoon is impacted by excess nutrients, notably high nitrogen and phosphorus levels, resulting in:

  • Excess algae growth and recurring harmful algal blooms (HABs)
  • Extensive organics (or "muck") accumulation
  • Poor water clarity

Pilot Project: Moleaer Nanobubble Technology

Moleaer nanobubble technology can help restore water quality in the Westland Marina in Titusville, FL by increasing dissolved oxygen (DO) and Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) levels throughout the water column, especially at the bottom, resulting in:

  • the acceleration of natural, microbial decomposition (breakdown) of the thick layers of accumulated muck at the bottom of the marina and;
  • the improvement of water clarity and quality, reduction in algae growth, and HAB frequency and severity.

How Moleaer Nanobubble Technology Restores Waterbodies

Moleaer nanobubble technology creates and enhances aerobic (oxygen-rich) conditions in lakes, especially at depth, supporting natural lake processes and improving resilience to common challenges like algal blooms, without the use of harsh chemicals.

By restoring oxygen where it is most limited, nanobubbles help improve water clarity, reduce the frequency, severity and duration of algal blooms, break down accumulated muck, minimize foul odors and support healthier aquatic ecosystems overall.

  • Efficient Oxygen Delivery & Distribution: Nanobubbles deliver oxygen throughout the water column, including the deeper zones where oxygen depletion often occurs and traditional approaches are less effective.
  • Nutrient Mitigation & Algae Reduction: Improved oxygen conditions at depth reduces sediment nutrient release associated with low oxygen (anoxia), limiting the nutrients available to fuel excessive algal growth.
  • Enhanced Microbial Activity & Muck Digestion: Enhanced oxygen conditions at the lake bottom stimulate and accelerate natural microbial processes which are key to breaking down organic muck more efficiently.

What is Nanobubble Technology?

Nanobubble Technology is a chemical-free approach to restore water quality and clarity by delivering oxygen in an exceptionally efficient and stable form. Moleaer is the global leader in this field , with the most widely deployed nanobubble systems operating at commercial scale across waterbodies and treatment environments worldwide.

Moleaer's patented nanobubble generator introduces oxygen into water in two complementary ways. First, it dissolves gas at high efficiency (85% gas transfer efficiency rate) exceeding conventional aeration methods, as and validated by 3rd party testing. Second, it generates nanobubbles which are extremely small, stable gas bubbles that remain suspended in water, enabling oxygen to be distributed more evenly and persist where it’s needed most.  

This process supports clearer water, reducing accumulated muck, and healthier aquatic ecosystems, reinforcing the natural biological processes that depend on oxygen.

What’s Inside the Nanobubble Trailer System at Westland Marina?

A trailer-mounted nanobubble system, Moleaer's simple treatment set-up consists of an industrial scale nanobubble generator, pump, and gas system. The Westland Marina system includes:

  • Moleaer Nanobubble Generator: flow rate of 1,000 gallons per minute
  • Oxygenation Concentrator: injects up to 15 lbs of oxygen per hour
  • Pinnacle Ozone Generator: injects up to 140 grams of ozone per hour

Robust Water Quality Monitoring Plan:

The pilot project at Westland Marina consists of a robust monitoring plan to demonstrate the technology’s efficacy for lagoon restoration. During the two months before installation, data collection will be conducted to set the baseline for the 8-month monitoring period to follow installation.

Routine Monitoring:

  • Monthly grab water and sediment sample collection from 3 locations analyzed by a lab for 15 chemical and biological parameters
  • Vertical profiles at 0.5-meter intervals spanning the entire water column
  • BioBase® sediment hardness mapping

Continuous water quality monitoring:

  • Three PME Minidot® data loggers collect hourly dissolved oxygen and water temperature data
