Claim Text:
1. A diffuser apparatus comprising: a gas supply line, connectable in gas receiving communication with a pressurized gas source, the gas supply line comprising an injection port facing a first direction, the injection port operably emitting a gas stream into a diffuser space in the first direction; a dome-shaped surface positioned a first distance away from the injection port in downstream fluid communication with the gas stream, wherein the gas stream is directed at a base portion of the dome-shaped surface; and a liquid feed line, connectable in fluid receiving communication with a liquid source, the liquid feed line comprising a suction port disposed on a crest portion of the dome-shaped surface and facing a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are not parallel, wherein a second distance between the dome-shaped surface and an element opposite the dome-shaped surface is greater than a diameter of the injection port so that no narrowing venturi-type effect occurs as the gas stream passes over the dome-shaped surface, wherein operably passing the gas stream over the suction port, by the Coanda effect, increases a velocity of the gas stream and suctions a particle stream through the liquid feed line to form a combination stream.
