Title: Kent L. Peterson and Liquid Oxygenation Technology.

Introduction

Kent L. Peterson is an inventor associated with Albany, New York. His work includes an apparatus and process for oxygenating liquids, designed to disperse oxygen efficiently through a sequence of injection and diffusion stages. Peterson is associated with Life International Products, Inc., and is reported to have 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Peterson’s listed patent, “Oxygenating Apparatus, Method for Oxygenating a Liquid Therewith, and Applications Thereof,” describes equipment and a process for enriching liquid with oxygen. A pump sends liquid through an injector, where oxygen is introduced to form a mixture containing large bubbles. The mixture then passes downward through two diffuser portions.

In the first diffuser portion, the flow creates a shockwave that breaks the large oxygen bubbles into smaller ones. The mixture proceeds into the second diffuser portion, where its pressure increases. Some bubbles rise against the downward flow and are further reduced in size. These stages continue until the bubbles no longer rise, after which the oxygen-enriched liquid is recovered.

Career Highlights

The oxygenation invention combines a pump, injector, and serial diffuser portions to promote the breakdown and distribution of oxygen bubbles in liquid. Its described process focuses on controlling flow and pressure to produce progressively smaller bubbles.

Collaborations

Peterson is associated with Life International Products, Inc. His reported coworker is Howard Littman.

Conclusion

Kent L. Peterson’s listed patent work centers on a staged liquid-oxygenation system that uses controlled flow, pressure, and diffusion to disperse oxygen into liquid.
