A microbubble generation device comprises a liquid inlet (101), a gas inlet (104), a bubble flow outlet (103), and a gas-liquid mixing chamber (102). An air-permeable hole having an angle structure is provided at a gas-liquid interface of the gas-liquid mixing chamber (102), and a pointed end of the angle structure of the air-permeable hole points to a liquid flow direction. The bubbles generated by the device are extremely small in diameter, prolonging a duration the bubbles stay in the liquid phase, and enhancing gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency.

A container system includes a collapsible bag having an interior surface at least partially bounding a chamber, the chamber being adapted to hold a fluid. A sparger is disposed within the chamber of the bag, the sparger bounding a compartment and having an inside edge that encircles an opening passing through the sparger. At least a portion of the sparger is gas permeable. A tubular member is coupled to the sparger and is in communication with the compartment. A shaft passes into the chamber of the bag and through the opening of the sparger. A mixing element is secured to the shaft and is disposed within the chamber of the bag.

A container system includes a bag comprised of one or more sheets of flexible polymeric material, the bag having an interior surface at least partially bounding a chamber, the chamber being adapted to hold a fluid. A flexible sparging sheet is secured to the interior surface of the bag so that a compartment is formed between the interior surface of the bag and the sparging sheet, at least a portion of the sparging sheet allowing gas to pass therethrough. A tubular port or tube is secured to the bag so that a passage bounded by the tubular port or tube communicates with the compartment. A mixing element is disposed within the chamber of the bag, the mixing element being spaced apart from the flexible sparging sheet.

This application relates to a system and method of treating a liquid wherein an oxygen infusion system is used to supersaturate the liquid, wherein oxygen is transferred to the liquid free of oxygen bubbles. The oxygen infusion system can include an eductor without any moving parts, the eductor configured to pump the liquid through a plurality of gas infusion modules, driving liquid flow from a bottom portion of a gas infusion tank towards a top portion of the gas infusion tank thereby causing at least some of the liquid to flow from a bottom end of the plurality of gas infusion modules to a top end of the plurality of gas infusion modules.
