<p>Apparatus in which a gas and a liquid are rotated and swirled in a conical vessel (3) to absorb the gas into the liquid such that the gas:liquid saturation ratio exceeds the normal gas:liquid saturation ratio. The vessel (3) is pressurized, and the liquid is stored in a low pressure reservoir (18) before being transferred to the vessel (3). After passing through the vessel (3) the liquid is stored in a reservoir (6). The vessel (3) and the reservoir (6) are pressurized to approximately equal pressures. The liquid can be pre or further oxygenated at various points by coupling tunnel oxygenator devices into the apparatus at such points and coupling the gas supply to the tunnel oxygenator devices. The treated liquid is transferred from the storage reservoir (6) into bottles or similar containers which are then sealed in a gas-tight manner to preserve the increased gas:liquid saturation ratio during subsequent commercial transportation of the containers to consumers.</p> |
