Abstract: A method and apparatus for dissolving a gas into a fluid which may contain at least one dissolved gas. The apparatus includes an inlet through which fluid enters the apparatus. The fluid is then housed in a chamber. The apparatus also includes a feed for the introduction of the gas into the fluid housed in the chamber. The chamber has a first portion having a diverging interior surface and a second portion having a cylindrical surface, which configuration enhances gas absorption. Further, the apparatus includes an acceleration plate which accelerates the flow of fluids and gas bubbles in the chamber. In addition, the apparatus includes a helix-shaped bubble harvestor which removes fugitive (undissolved) gas bubbles from the fluid flow and returns them to the chamber above the harvester to increase the probability that those bubbles will be dissolved in the fluid. Fluid having gas dissolved therein exits the chamber through an aperture through the bottom surface of the chamber into an outlet.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dissolving a gas into a fluid which may contain at least one dissolved gas. The apparatus comprises a conventional U-tube oxygenator which includes a U-tube member having an inlet for the introduction of the fluid and the gas to be dissolved into the fluid, and an outlet. The fluid is housed in the U-tube member. The apparatus further comprises a helix-shaped bubble harvestor located proximate the bottom of the inlet side of the U-tube member. The helix-shaped bubble harvestor removes fugitive (undissolved) gas bubbles from the fluid flow and returns them to the bubble swarm located above the helix-shaped bubble harvester. The resulting fluid, which contains a high concentration of dissolved gas, exits the outlet of the U-tube member.

Abstract: The present invention provides a simple and efficient means for dissolving carbon dioxide gas discharged from sources such as thermoelectric power plants into the seawater and for isolating it at deep sea level. The means comprises an inverted U-shaped gas lift 1 having a shorter gas lift dissolving pipe 2 and a longer descending pipe 3 being connected with each other at the top, said gas lift dissolving pipe 2 is held at shallow sea level, and the lower end of the descending pipe 3 is opened at deep sea level. When carbon dioxide gas is injected in from the lower end of the gas lift dissolving pipe 2, the seawater is introduced from the lower end of the dissolving pipe by gas lift action of the carbon dioxide gas in the dissolving pipe 2, and the carbon dioxide is completely dissolved into the seawater until it reaches the upper end of the dissolving pipe. With its density increased due to dissolving of the carbon dioxide, the seawater is moved down by gravity to deep sea level through the descending pipe 3 and carbon dioxide is isolated at deep sea level.

Abstract: Dispersing apparatus achieves solution of a soluble liquefied gas in a liquid solvent while permitting at least substantially full pressure on the liquefied gas to the point of incipient solution and thereafter affords desirable dispersion of the liquefied gas dissolving the solvent as well as providing fast and efficient flow of the resulting solvent into a liquidprocessing medium. The apparatus provides for suppressed vaporization of gas, even though such suppression occurs during an accompanying pressure drop, when the liquefied gas dissolves in the solvent, and further when the resulting solution disperses in the liquid-processing medium.
