An experimental study to observe the performance of microbubble generator (MBG) and microbubble-generating nozzle on water is carried out under laboratory conditions. The MBG is used to treat wastewater from water bodies which was impacted by domestic and industrial wastewater. The study uses MBG with a spherical body and a drilled hole, along with a dispersing nozzle placed at the bottom of microbubble reactor tank. The MBG used is considered to be more applicable for water bodies rather than other types. Two types of pressure gauges are installed around the MBG and the nozzle in order to examine and configure the inlet water pressure and the inlet gas pressure based on the best microbubble size produced from a prior experiment. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and Turbidity has been analyzed in the beginning and every 10 minutes of a 60 minute detention time to examine the effectiveness of MBG. The results of study shows the MBG have a high rate of removal percentage in a 60-minute retention time with 60 to 90% for TSS, up to 90% for Turbidity, 74 to 96% for BOD, and 41 to 59% for COD.
