Apparatus and method for increasing oxygen levels in a liquid

A system for increasing dissolved oxygen levels in a liquid, comprising:

• a piping network defining an interior passageway;
• a liquid source which introduces a liquid into the piping network to form a flow stream;
• a dwell chamber connected to the piping network which injects colloidal minerals at a desired concentration into the flow stream;
• an oxygen injector connected to the piping network which injects gaseous oxygen into the flow stream at a desired level;
• a linear flow accelerator connected to the piping network to accelerate the flow stream, comprising:
• a flat Venturi having a substantially elliptically shaped internal cross sectional area smaller than respective cross sectional areas of the passageway immediately upstream and downstream of the flat Venturi;
• and
• an electromagnet adjacent the flat Venturi and aligned along a major axis of the substantially elliptically shaped internal cross sectional area which applies a magnetic field of desired field strength to the flow stream in the flat Venturi,
• wherein the flow stream is accelerated to supersonic speed through the linear flow accelerator and subsequently decelerated to subsonic speed as the flow stream exits the linear flow accelerator with the transition from supersonic to subsonic speed inducing a shock wave in the flow stream to break up oxygen bubbles in the liquid;
• and
• a laminar flow grid connected to the piping network downstream from the linear flow accelerator to remove turbulence from the flow stream.
