Nanobubble Solutions

What Nanobubble Solutions does

Nanobubble Solutions Limited is a UK-registered private limited company and the exclusive B2B franchise for Anzaikantetsu Co., Ltd, marketing the patented carbon ceramic nanobubble generation technology invented by Satoshi Anzai. The company targets enterprise customers in water treatment and purification, agriculture and aquaculture, sterilization and disinfection, mining and ferric leaching, and beauty and pharmaceutical applications across Western and Northern/Eastern Europe, the Americas, Australia, and India. Operations are run by a three-person leadership team—Satoshi Anzai (co-owner and director), Tony Humphreys (day-to-day operations), and Akifumi Takagi (Japanese–European market bridging)—with a stated headcount of 1–10 and no institutional investors disclosed.

The core product is the Anzai Nanobubble Generator System, built around carbon ceramic diffuser heads that release gas across their full surface by osmosis at a maximum of 29psi, generating nanobubbles (less than 50 microns in diameter) compressed by negative ions at the gas–liquid interface. This architecture is reported to deliver a 90% gas transfer rate in a single pass—approximately double competing systems—while using a fraction of the energy and with no mechanical parts. The portfolio includes in-line generators (in multiple sizes), plate-type and nozzle-type diffuser heads, rotary/propeller-type diffusers for direct-in-liquid operation, and ultrasonic delivery variants for pharmaceutical and mining use cases. The technology is protected by granted patents in Japan, the United States (Patent No. 8,919,747 B2), and Europe.

The revenue model combines custom hardware sales (sized and designed to order for specific liquid volumes) with technology licensing/royalty arrangements through the franchise agreement with Anzaikantetsu Co., Ltd. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are provided on inquiry, and the stated billing cadence is multi-year contracts. The go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise field sales, with inbound demand generated primarily through the company website and an English-language NHK news report from 2013. No revenue, ARR, customer logos, or funding rounds are disclosed in the public material.
