System and method of water treatment
First Claim
1. A system for water treatment comprising:
- an injector means having a inlet port adapted to receive water, an injector port adapted to receive nitrogen gas and an outlet port adapted to expel said water;
a receptacle;
wherein said water passes through said injector means thereby contacting said nitrogen gas being received through said injector port;
wherein said water is expelled from said outlet port to said receptacle.

Abstract
The present invention generally offers a system and a method that allows a vessel to treat water while providing corrosion inhibition. A nitrogen source produces nitrogen gas that may be pumped directly to, preferably but optionally, a venturi injector, or may first be pumped into an empty tank and then delivered to the injector means. Water being pumped through the injector via a transfer piping means comes into contact with the nitrogen, and dissolved oxygen in the water transfers to micro-fine nitrogen bubbles generated by the injector. The water and the micro-fine bubbles are pumped from the injector and into the tank, where the micro-fine bubbles float to the surface, and the oxygen is released into the tank'"'"'s headspace. The deoxygenated water may be re-circulated through the system for additional deoxygenation or released from the tank into the surrounding waterways.

13. A method for deoxygenating water comprising the following steps:
-
utilizing an injector means having an inlet port adapted to receive water, an injector port adapted to receive nitrogen gas, and an outer port adapted to expel said water;
supplying into said inlet port said water to be treated;
supplying nitrogen gas to said injector port, thereby providing said water with a myriad of micro-fine bubbles wherein oxygen in said water diffuses from an aqueous phase to a gaseous phase within said micro-fine bubbles;
expelling said water and said micro-fine bubbles from said outlet port to a receptacle wherein said micro-fine bubbles are released from said water, thereby diffusing said oxygen from said water. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
