Water Quality Engineer Description

Moleaer (Latin for tiny air) is the leading manufacturer of industrial-scale nanobubble systems. Compared to larger bubbles, nanobubbles injected in water possess several unique characteristics including neutral buoyancy, oxidative properties and a strong negative surface charge.  As such, they interact with compounds in water, but do not rise to the surface and burst. In fact, nanobubbles can remain stable in saturated solutions for months. These unique properties provide several benefits to customers including extremely efficient gas transfer and improved water quality.

 

The company's mission is to provide highly efficient gas transfer, physical separation, and oxidation solutions to enhance our customer’s production and treatment processes. Moleaer’s nanobubble generators can improve process efficiency, enhance water quality and reduce operational expenses across a wide range of applications including greenhouse crop production, water and wastewater treatment, resource recovery, and algae mitigation.

We are looking for a smart, curious, and driven water quality engineer to join our Application Engineering Team.
