Abstract
Method and apparatus for producing an oxygenated fluid. In accordance with various embodiments, a flow of pressurized fluid is established. A flow of oxygen is injected into the flow of pressurized fluid to provide a fluid/oxygen mixture. The mixture is passed through a venturi assembly in the presence of a magnetic field established by an adjacent magnetic assembly. The mixture is next flowed from the venturi assembly to a gas/liquid separation tank, where a liquid component of the mixture is passed downstream with a selected dissolved oxygen content and a gas component is directed back for injection into the pressurized fluid flow.
Claims20
A method for producing oxygenated fluid, comprising steps of:
- establishing a pressurized flow of a fluid;
- injecting a flow of oxygen into said fluid to provide a fluid/oxygen mixture;
- passing said fluid/oxygen mixture through a venturi assembly while subjecting said mixture to a magnetic field from an adjacent magnetic assembly;
- and
- flowing said mixture from said venturi assembly to a gas/liquid separation tank, wherein a liquid component is passed downstream with a selected dissolved oxygen content and a gas component is directed back for injection into said pressurized fluid flow.
An apparatus for producing an oxygenated fluid, comprising:
- a liquid source supplying a fluid into the system forming a pressurized flow stream;
- a chiller in fluidic communication with said fluid source, said chiller configured to reduce a temperature of said flow stream to an appropriate temperature level;
- an ozone reaction tank in fluidic communication with said chiller, said ozone reaction tank introduces an amount of ozone into said flow stream for antibiological purposes resulting in a liquid/ozone mixture;
- a source of colloidal minerals in fluidic communication with said ozone reaction tank, said source injecting colloidal minerals into said liquid/ozone mixture;
- an oxygen injection station in fluidic communication with said ozone reaction tank, said oxygen injection station operating to inject gaseous oxygen into said liquid/ozone mixture resulting in a liquid/gas mixture;
- a venturi assembly in fluidic communication with said oxygen injection station, wherein said liquid/gas mixture in said venturi assembly is subjected to a magnetic field by a magnetic assembly;
- and
- a gas/liquid separation tank in fluidic communication with said linear accelerator, wherein a liquid component of said liquid/gas mixture is passed downstream with a selected dissolved oxygen content and a gas component of said liquid/gas mixture is directed back for injection into said pressurized fluid flow.
