Spargers

The best way to get small, uniform bubbles is to use a sparger made from sintered powder metal.  In addition to producing billions of tiny bubbles, porous metal spargers offer many other advantages.  Different metal alloys can be used to assure chemical compatibility and different geometries can be produced to maximize efficiencies in custom tanks or to fit into tight spots.  Unlike polymers, porous metals will not leach into the product.  And porous metal spargers can be easily cleaned and reused.  Using the same amount of gas, smaller bubbles provide more surface area than big bubbles. Larger surface area results in more efficient absorption of the gas into the liquid. Reaction times are faster and less gas is used in the process.
