Apparatus and method for improving the efficiency of combustion in burners is disclosed. Air is circulated at a substantially constant controlled rate from a blower or compressor through a control valve to a release point beneath a catalyzing or catalyst-forming liquid, such as water, and is released beneath such surface in such a manner as to ensure the slow growth of relatively large bubbles. These bubbles break at the liquid surface, and the catalyst-laden air is then returned to the gas impelling means, in which it is mixed with more air and returned to the system. A portion of the catalyst-laden air is directed to the combustion device, e.g. the oil burner, at a point between the air impelling means and the bubble chamber, preferably at a point between the air impelling device and the first control valve.
