Fine bubble generator and method

摘要

In its simplest sense, the present invention provides a method for forming fine gaseous bubbles in a liquid ambient by forcing a gas through orifices located in the liquid ambient to generate a stream of gas bubbles, while simultaneously forcing a liquid through liquid orifices at a velocity sufficient to form jet streams of liquid, the liquid orifices being substantially coplanar with and equal in number to the gas orifices so that each jet stream of liquid intersects each stream of gas bubbles and creates sufficient turbulence, whereby the fine gas bubbles are formed.
