Abstract
A method and apparatus creates gas-enriched fluid that is used to treat wastewater. In one embodiment, the wastewater is withdrawn from a supply of wastewater to be treated, and the wastewater is delivered in an atomized manner to a vessel pressurized with gas to form gas-enriched wastewater. The gas-enriched wastewater is then delivered to the supply of wastewater to be treated.

15. A method of treating a wastewater, comprising the acts of:
-
pressurizing a vessel with a treatment gas; delivering a water to be gas-enriched, in an atomized state, into the vessel to gas-enrich the water to a desired gas content; expelling the gas-enriched water from the vessel through a fluid conduit; delivering the gas-enriched water to a treatment site containing the wastewater to be treated; and adding the gas-enriched water to the wastewater, whereby the addition of gas-enriched water to the wastewater raises the treatment gas content in the wastewater to a desired level. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
