At the end of October, it opened the new head offices of Moleaer Spain in Nijar (Almeria). The company, a leader in nanobubble technology, was founded 6 years ago in California and it has spent the last two years establishing itself in Spain through BS Nature, with which it holds an alliance to offer this technology in southern Spain and to offer local support in one of the key regions for European agriculture.
Ten international prizes and awards endorse the efficiency of Moleaer’s technology, which has already deployed over 2,500 nanobubble-generating installations in over 55 countries, one thousand of them in agricultural installations in Canada, Mexico and Europe.
Its “disruptive” technology has caught the interest of six investment funds, which have taken a chance on the company: Energy Innovation Capital, Cibus, Rusheen Capital Management, s2gventures, Husqvarna Group, and Apollo.
“Up to now we have obtained over 60 million dollars in investments,” underscored the CEO and General Manager of Moleaer, Nicholas Dyzer.
Indalo™, designed for southern Spain
During the event, the exclusive design that they have specifically developed to resist the weather conditions in southern Spain was presented: the Indalo™ nanobubble generator.
Indalo™ incorporates its own oxygen generator and operates in two ways: in-line injection or directly in the basin. It generates trillions of nanobubbles that oversaturate the water with oxygen in a more efficient and profitable way than any other method available.
The first 20 units of Indalo are already up and running in the sector. They came onto the market in mid-August.
Opting for Moleaer’s technology could give a boost to Spanish crops in terms of productivity. “The key lies in the size of the nanobubbles. They achieve a 10-20% increase in yield,” Francisco Belmonte, Chairman of BS Nature and of Biosabor, stated.
Each piece of Indalo™ equipment costs around 20,000€ (as opposed to other versions that reach prices of around 30,000€). This technology may be subsidised through operational funds.
Independent studies
The use of Moleaer’s nanobubble technology results in improvements in water quality, in the cleaning of the irrigation systems and in plant health. This is translated into greater yield, even in high-temperature conditions. Moleaer’s nanobubbles eliminate the biofilm in the drip line emitters; they help to prevent root disease; they reduce algae and optimise water and nutrient absorption by the roots.
Four independent studies by Fundación Cajamar, Agrocolor, Tecnova, and the UAL, sponsored by BS Nature, emphasise the improvements in water quality using this technology, which are translated into greater yields and higher fruit quality. These results have been achieved without having to increase inputs. Many research institutes and universities in the USA, Europe and Latin America have corroborated these transformative results:
- A 16.2% greater yield in cucumbers in trials carried out with Fundación Cajamar
- A 9.8% increase in total tomato production in the trials carried out with Agrocolor
- A 10.5% increase in the total weight of cucumbers in the trials carried out with Tecnova
- A 13% increase in cucumber yield in the trials carried out with the la UAL
