Abstract: The present invention provides a system for enriching a flowing liquid with a dissolved gas inside a conduit. The system comprises two or more capillaries, each capillary delivering a stream of a gas-enriched liquid to the flowing liquid. The first ends of the capillaries are positioned to form an intersecting angle with respect to the effluent streams such that these streams of gas-enriched liquid collide with each other upon exit from the first ends of the capillaries, effecting localized convective mixing within the larger liquid conduit before these gas-enriched streams are able to come into close contact with the boundary surfaces of the conduit, whereby the gas-enriched liquid mixes with the flowing liquid to form a gas-enriched flowing liquid. In the preferred embodiment, no observable bubbles are formed in the gas-enriched flowing liquid. Methods of making and using such system are also provided.

Abstract: First and second concentration measurements are provided in lines for first and second supply liquid lines. A dissolved concentration of gas in the second supply liquid is lower than that in the first supply liquid. In the first and second lines, first ends of branch lines are connected upstream of the concentration measurements. The second ends of the branch lines are connected to a mixing part. By mixing the first and second supply liquids, a processing liquid is generated. Respective flow rates in the branch lines are based on the first and second concentration measurements to set the dissolved concentration of the gas in the processing liquid. Thus, particles or the like can be removed from the processing liquid to be supplied to a substrate, and the dissolved concentration of the gas in the processing liquid can be set with high accuracy.

Abstract: Apparatus for introducing a gas into a main medium, comprising: a main conduit for guiding the main medium, a multitude of injection lines for guiding the gas, wherein each of the injection lines has a respective end section with a respective outlet opening situated within the main conduit, and wherein the end sections are oriented essentially parallel to each other and to the main conduit. With the apparatus a gas can be introduced in particular into waste water for obtaining a biologically activated sludge. Thereby, interaction between the gas and the waste water can be particularly pronounced due to a particularly large liquid-gas-interface caused by particularly extensive turbulences. Further, shear stress acting on particles in the activated sludge can be advantageously low, thus avoiding damage of the biological particles.

Abstract: A system and method of injecting a gas enriched and/or emulsified first liquid into a second liquid is disclosed. The injection can cause generation of a high density of bubbles having a mean diameter of a selected size. The mean diameter of the bubbles can be selected and varied based on the characteristics of the injection system.

Abstract: A method of obtaining a numerical model is disclosed. The numerical model correlates estimated capillary tube output diameter values to minimum pressure for gas bubble generation (MPGBG) values. An MPGBG value of each capillary tube in the reference group is measured for a liquid. An output diameter of each of the capillary tubes is measured by a microscope apparatus. A numerical model that correlates estimated capillary tube output diameter values to MPGBG values for the liquid is calculated.
A method of estimating an output diameter of a capillary tube includes the following steps. An MPGBG value of the capillary tube for a liquid is measured, and the measured MPGBG value is input into the numerical model to estimate the capillary tube output diameter value.
Other methods include a method of estimating an output diameter value of a capillary tube in a test group, a method of estimating and storing output diameter values of capillary tubes in a test group, methods of selecting at least one capillary tube from a plurality of capillary tubes in a test group, and a method of cutting a capillary tube to a desired estimated capillary tube output diameter value.-

Abstract: First and second concentration measurement parts (415, 425) are provided in first and second supply liquid lines (412, 422) in which first and second supply liquids flow, respectively. A dissolved concentration of gas in the second supply liquid is lower than that in the first supply liquid. In the first and second supply liquid lines, respective one ends of first and second branch lines (51, 52) are connected to respective positions on the upstream side of the concentration measurement parts. The other ends of the first and second branch lines are connected to a mixing part (57), and by mixing the first and second supply liquids, a processing liquid is generated. Respective flow rate adjustment parts (58) of the first and second branch lines are controlled on the basis of respective measured values of the first and second concentration measurement parts so that the dissolved concentration of the gas in the processing liquid can become a set value. It is thereby possible to prevent the supply liquid containing particles or the like caused by the concentration measurement part from being contained into the processing liquid to be supplied to a substrate and also to adjust the dissolved concentration of the gas in the processing liquid to the set value with high accuracy.
