Industrial nanobubble generators and cavitators
Four pieces of hardware, one job: get gas, nutrient and chemistry into water, and measure what changed. Injectors, oxygen generation, cavitators, and the meter that reads the result.

Buyer's guide
Which one do I need?
Pick the row that looks like your operation. Sizes and flow ranges are on each datasheet.
Inline injector + oxygen concentrator
Batch tank or drip: the injector ties into the feed line, and the concentrator supplies its oxygen. Add the DO meter to read the result.
Tell us: pipe size · flow · tank or drip
Injector datasheetConcentrator datasheetLarger injector on the main
A flanged injector sits on the main line after the pump. Banks of injectors in parallel scale to higher flow.
Tell us: main size · flow · pressure at the injection point
Injector datasheetConcentrator datasheetInjector + concentrator sized on feed
Oxygen demand follows feed rate, so we size the injector and the concentrator from your daily feed, not from tank volume.
Tell us: feed per day · flow · water source
Injector datasheetConcentrator datasheetJET-CAV or SHEAR-CAV
SHEAR-CAV for single-pass main lines and high-flow transfers; JET-CAV for batch tanks, reservoirs and recirculation loops.

Cavitators
The engine of process intensification
Our cavitators need no added gas. They use the kinetic energy of the flow itself to create local pressure collapse and intense shear at the microscale. What that does to your fluid depends on flow, dose and passes, so we test it on your water before we size the unit.
Sludge treatment and biogas
Shear and collapsing bubbles act on waste activated sludge solids to speed up hydrolysis, the slow first step of digestion.
Viscosity reduction
Hydrodynamic cavitation acts on heavy molecular chains and asphaltenes without diluents. Published trials of cavitation (not tests of our hardware) report viscosity reductions of up to 40%, and 33–84% across the literature, depending on crude, temperature and shear.
Radical chemistry in the line
Cavitation can form hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in the water itself, alongside the local pressure collapse and shear.
Homogenization
Intense shear mixes fluids and forms fine emulsions and blends in a single pass through the line.
Flow-through engine
Shear-Cav™
Best for: Main lines, single-pass irrigation, and high-flow transfers.
Uses fluid velocity to generate intense shear in a single pass, with no gas feed to plumb.
- Sizes: 1.0" – 12.0"
- Flow: 23 – 5933 GPM
- Mechanism: Passive / velocity driven
Recirculation engine
Jet-Cav™
Best for: Batch tanks, reservoirs, and active mixing loops.
Designed for variable-pressure environments. Creates a high-impact mixing zone that keeps solids in suspension and limits sludge build-up.
- Sizes: 1.0" – 12.0"
- Pressure: Max 145 PSI
- Mechanism: Active / pump driven
Inline injectors
A step change in mass transfer
Our injectors combine our cavitators with metered gas injection. Unlike a diffuser, they shear gas into billions of nanobubbles (<200 nm; bubble size characterized by an independent laboratory using nanoparticle tracking analysis). Ultrafine bubbles persist in water far longer than coarse bubbles.
Less gas lost at the surfacePublished research on nanobubble gas transfer (not tests of our hardware) reports >85% transferred, against ~15% for standard aerators.
Root-zone oxygenDelivers O₂ to the root zone through the irrigation water, supporting root health and the beneficial microbes there. Yield response depends on crop and site, so we pilot first, with a control zone.
Dissolved-air flotationPublished trials of nanobubble flotation (not our hardware) report 99% oil separation with residual under 4 mg/L.
Surface foulingShear and nanobubbles act on films on pipe and membrane surfaces. Results depend on your water; we test it.
Peripherals
Oxygen generators (O₂)
When ambient air cannot carry enough oxygen, a PSA concentrator pulls it from the air at 93% ± 3% and feeds Kairospace injectors directly. Oxygen supports the water and the roots; it does not replace your sanitation program.
Oxygen supersaturation
Fed by these generators, our injectors have demonstrated dissolved oxygen above 30 mg/L — well past air saturation — in our deployments and in published research.
Aquaculture
Dissolved oxygen supplied through the water column, sized on feed rate, because oxygen demand follows feed.
Environmental remediation
Concentrated oxygen supports aerobic bacteria that degrade organic pollutants; published work reports faster degradation than with air-based aeration.
Advanced oxidation
Reactive oxygen species for seed treatment and AOP work.
High-pressure O₂ generator
Generates 93% oxygen at 85 PSI, matched to injector inlet pressure.

Optical DO meter
Process validation. Optical fluorescence-quenching measurement, with no permeable membrane or electrolyte to drift — laboratory-grade readings in the field.

Hardware sized to your line, and a meter to read the result
Drop-in retrofit or engineered system: the hardware is modular either way, and we size it to your flow, pressure and goal. The quote carries the price; the calculators show indicative list pricing.
- HardwareA titanium-core inline injector sized to your line, a PSA oxygen concentrator matched to it, and an optical dissolved-oxygen meter to read the result.
- InstallTies into existing piping in 1–3 days: hours of interruption on the treated line, not days.
- Lead time4–6 weeks from down payment to hardware on site.
- PowerA dedicated GFCI-protected circuit, commonly about 220 V / 30 A (exact spec in the proposal).
- Warranty3 years on non-moving parts (piping, injectors, cavitators); 1 year on moving parts (pump, oxygen generator).
- MaintenanceInjectors and cavitators have no moving parts. Pumps and oxygen generators are serviced every six months.
- Ways to buyDirect from Kairospace, through your hydro store or irrigation dealer, or lease-to-own (3–4 month terms, lease fees credited toward the purchase).
- Proof firstA pilot with a control zone. Pilot fees can credit toward the full system, up to 100% on structured trials. Cannabis: one to two harvests. Field crops: one season.
