  • Apparatus for water treatment
    Patent number: 7361270
    Abstract: Water is treated by precipitating dissolved contaminants. A treatment vessel is provided having an inlet for receiving the water under treatment and an outlet for flowing treated water therefrom. A high volume of fine air bubbles are diffused into the water within the vessel as it flows therethrough, causing the water to assume an increased level of dissolved oxygen and thereby cause certain impurities within the water to oxidize and precipitate and flow with the water through the outlet.
