Abstract
A sonic saturation system is provided that comprises at least one tank for containing a reservoir of liquid solvent; at least one gas-inlet in fluid communication with a gas compressor, for introducing gaseous solute into the reservoir, and at least one sonic agitator (146) for agitating the liquid reservoir thereby increasing the rate of impregnation of the solute into the solvent.
Claims16
A sonic saturation system comprising:
- a. at least one tank for containing a reservoir of liquid solvent;
- b. at least one gas-inlet, in fluid communication with a gas compressor, for introducing gaseous solute into said reservoir, and
- c. at least one sonic agitator for agitating said liquid reservoir thereby increasing the rate of impregnation of said solute into said solvent.
A method for mixing gases and liquids, said method comprising the steps:
- step (a)—providing at least one reservoir of liquid solvent;
- step (b)—introducing gaseous solute into said reservoir, and
- step (c)—agitating said reservoir with sonic waves thereby increasing the rate of impregnation of said solute into said solvent.
