One embodiment provides a wine aerating device, including: a container comprising a bottom that is provided with an outlet aperture having a predetermined size, wherein said container is at least partially filled with a multitude of elements for breaking up and diverting a flow of wine streaming from the top to the bottom of said container, each of said elements having a size at least equal to said predetermined size of said outlet aperture, said size thereby preventing said multitude of elements from passing through said outlet aperture while allowing the passage of wine through said outlet aperture and increasing the wine's turbulent motion and oxigenation while coming out of said container. Other aspects are described and claimed.

A low head oxygenator system includes one or more chambers, each of the one or more chambers having an open top, and one or more distribution plates, each distribution plate disposed over the open top of a corresponding one of the one or more chambers. Each of the one or more distribution plates has a predetermined number of orifices distributed within one or more zones of the respective distribution plate and no orifices in at least one remaining zone of the respective distribution plate. The oxygenator system further includes a container (e.g. trough), disposed on top of the one or more distribution plates, and configured to allow a liquid contained in the container to flow through the orifices of the one or more distribution plates into the one or more chambers.

This application relates to a system of treating wastewater wherein an oxygen infusion system is used to supersaturate wastewater before aerobic biological processes, wherein oxygen is transferred to the wastewater free of oxygen bubbles and achieves a reduction in power demand for the aeration process of wastewater.

A reversing flow apparatus comprising a chamber having a series of two or more sequential rings mounted on a shaft extending axially through the chamber, the rings being separated by a space, each ring comprising a circumference and one or more S-shaped members extending from a point in the circumference to another point in the circumference and across a center of the ring, the two or more sequential rings being mounted along the shaft in a twist arrangement such that at least one ring In the apparatus has its S-shaped member in a forward-facing position and at least one ring in the apparatus has its S-shaped member in a reverse-facing position.

The invention relates to an ultrafine bubble (UFB) generator and a method for generating UFB. The invention also provides an ultrafine bubble-containing liquid and a production method of the liquid. An ultrafine bubble generator is prepared by combining (A) a sophorolipid containing acidic sophorolipid and lactonic sophorolipid in a ratio (mass ratio) of 78:22 to 100:0, (B) a free fatty acid or salt thereof, and (C) a gas generation component.

This application relates to a method of treating wastewater wherein an oxygen infusion system is used to supersaturate wastewater before aerobic biological processes, wherein oxygen is transferred to the wastewater free of oxygen bubbles and achieves a reduction in power demand for the aeration process of wastewater.

A bag assembly for use with a heat exchanger includes a flexible bag having of one or more sheets of polymeric material, the bag having a first end that bounds a first compartment and an opposing second end that bounds a second compartment, a support structure being disposed between the first compartment and the second compartment so that the first compartment is separated and isolated from the second compartment. A first inlet port, a first outlet port, and a first drain port are coupled with the flexible bag so as to communicate with the first compartment. A second inlet port, a second outlet port, and a second drain port are coupled with the flexible bag so as to communicate with the second compartment.

A method and system for water body algae control are provided. The method for water body algae control may include the steps of: withdrawing water from the water body; infusing a gas containing oxygen and/or ozone into the withdrawn water by generating nanobubbles of the gas within the water; and returning the infused water into the water body. The water body algae control system may include a nanobubble generator that may be configured to receive water that is withdrawn from a water body. An oxygen concentrator and an air compressor may be configured to provide a gas containing oxygen to the nanobubble generator and/or to an ozone generator, in which the nanobubble generator is configured to disperse nanobubbles of the gas containing oxygen and/or ozone into the water, and in which the nanobubble containing water is then directed back into the water body.

A gas-saturated liquid generator having a vessel of the generator, a hollow bell in its upside down position located with a tube for gas supply, and a mixer situated in the area for saturated liquid covered by the bell is disclosed. The entire bell is submerged below the surface of the saturated liquid. On a shaft projecting from a driving equipment, the mixer provided with a foaming spring is situated. The mixer provided with a magnetic carrier seated rotatably on the protrusion formed by a bulge in the bottom part of the generator vessel may be used. The preferred bell forms are dome-shaped, cylindrical or conical.

A stabilized, gas-infused liquids containing ultra high concentrations of infused gas, produced by: generating a gas-infused liquid in a sealed vessel under a high pressure of at least 20 psi; stabilizing the gas-infused liquid by passing the liquid while still under the high pressure through a tubular flow path arrangement which compresses the infused gas into nano bubbles in the liquid; infusing an additional amount of the gas into the stabilized liquid by injecting the same, while still under high pressure, back into the sealed pressure vessel along with more of the gas; and again stabilizing the liquid by again passing liquid, while still under the high pressure, through the tubular flow path arrangement to thereby form the additional amount of infused gas into nano bubbles in the liquid.
