Abstract
Apparatus and method for increasing dissolved oxygen levels in a liquid. An oxygenation system ( ) includes a liquid source ( ) from which liquid is introduced into a piping network ( ) by a pump ( ). Colloidal minerals are injected into the liquid in a dwell chamber ( ). The mixture of liquid and minerals flows into an oxygenator ( ) where gaseous oxygen is injected into the liquid. The resulting two-phase flow stream is accelerated to supersonic speeds through a linear flow accelerator ( ) comprising a flat Venturi ( ) and electromagnets ( ) positioned adjacent the flat Venturi. The electromagnets generate an electromagnetic field to exert a force on the two-phase mixture in the direction of the flow. The flow stream then passes through a laminar flow grid ( ) to remove turbulence, after which the oxygenated liquid is bottled at a bottling system ( ).
