Abstract
Super-oxygenation of bio-oxidizable fluid in a bio-oxidation reactor is accomplished by continuously transferring a stream of said fluid from the top of the column of fluid in said reactor to an oxidator vessel equipped with a high-shear agitator, introducing an oxygen containing gas into the bottom of the column of fluid in said vessel, rapidly revolving said agitator concurrently with the flow of said gas into said vessel, and continuously transferring a stream of said fluid from the top of the column of fluid in said vessel to the bottom of the column of fluid in said reactor.
