<p>Gas, e.g. air, is released into an approximately crank-shaped horizontal pipe (10) having an elongated horizontal section (12) feeding an upward-angled shorter section (14) and discharging through a horizontal tailpipe (16). The pipe (10) is installed in, e.g., a water treatment basin. A continual supply of compressed air (22) is released within the first section (12) and steadily rises as bubbles through the angled section (14) driving water before it through the tail pipe (16) and setting up a continual flow of water from the pipe inlet (18) to the outlet (18). A bank of such pipes (10) may be mounted on a horizontal rotor within a water treatment basin, both oxygenating and mixing the water.</p> |
