Abstract

A method for treating a fluid to increase oxygen content while reducing surface tension. The first step is flowing a fluid into a surface tension modification device at a first pressure and applying a direct current or an electromagnetic wave to modify a physical characteristic of the fluid forming an altered fluid. The next step is flowing oxygen or ozone into the altered fluid forming an altered fluid mixture. After the altered fluid mixture is formed, then flow the altered fluid mixture into the inner chamber of a multichamber device at a second pressure which is lower than the first pressure. The last step is passing the altered fluid mixture from the inner chamber through a plurality of funnels forming a turbid fluid condition at a focus point in an outside chamber to dissolve nano-sized oxygen particles into the fluid at an increased concentration.

Claims (22)

1. A method for treating a fluid to produce a high nano-particle oxygen concentration low surface tension stream comprising the steps of:

a. flowing a fluid into a surface tension modification generator at a first pressure and flowing an energy wave from a dead short direct current generator into the fluid enabling the energy wave to travel along the fluid for a defined distance to modify a physical characteristic of the fluid forming an altered fluid;

b. flowing a gas into the altered fluid forming an altered fluid mixture;

c. flowing the altered fluid mixture into an inner chamber of a multichamber device at a second pressure which is lower than the first pressure;

d. passing the altered fluid mixture from the inner chamber through a plurality of funnels forming a turbid fluid condition at a focus point in an outside chamber to dissolve nano-sized gas particles into the fluid at an increased concentration forming dissolved gas in a fluid mixture.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gas is oxygen, ozone, air, ethylene, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ethylene oxide, or combinations thereof.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fluid comprises water and solids.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of flowing the fluid through the plurality of funnels uses from about 2 funnels to about 24 funnels.

5. The method of claim 1 , comprising flowing the gas into the altered fluid at a pressure from about 1 psi to about 100 psi.

6. The method of claim 1 , comprising flowing the fluid into the surface tension modification generator at a rate from about 1 gallon per minute to about 1000 gallons per minute.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing the energy wave at least two different lengths per a defined unit of time.

8. A method for treating a fluid to produce a high nano-particle oxygen concentration low surface tension stream comprising the steps of:

a. flowing a fluid into a surface tension modification generator at a first pressure and flowing an electromagnetic wave from a electromagnetic generator into the fluid enabling the electromagnetic wave to travel along the fluid for a defined distance to modify a physical characteristic of the fluid forming an altered fluid;

b. flowing a gas into the altered fluid forming an altered fluid mixture;

c. flowing the altered fluid mixture into an inner chamber of a multichamber device at a second pressure which is lower than the first pressure;

d. passing the altered fluid mixture from the inner chamber through a plurality of funnels forming a turbid fluid condition at a focus point in an outside chamber to dissolve nano-sized gas particles into the fluid at an increased concentration forming dissolved gas in a fluid mixture.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the gas is oxygen, ozone, air, ethylene, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ethylene oxide, or combinations thereof.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the fluid comprises water and solids.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the step of flowing the fluid through the plurality of funnels uses from about 2 funnels to about 24 funnels.

12. The method of claim 8 , comprising flowing the gas into the altered fluid at a pressure from about 1 psi to about 100 psi.

13. The method of claim 8 , comprising flowing fluid into the surface tension modification generator at a rate from about 1 gallon to about 1000 gallons per minute.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising providing the electromagnetic wave at least two different lengths per a defined unit of time.
