Abstract:
1. An apparatus for treating a fluid so as to increase gas content while reducing surface tension, wherein the apparatus comprises: a. a surface tension modification generator (STMG) comprising an STMG chamber for receiving a pressurized fluid at a first pressure, at least a pair of probes disposed in the STMG chamber with a first probe for emitting a frequency from about 0.05 Hz to about 5000 Hz, into the fluid and a second probe causing the emitted frequency to travel through the fluid for a defined distance to modify a physical characteristic of the fluid forming an altered fluid; b. a multi-chambered device for receiving the altered fluid from the STMG, wherein the multi-chambered device comprises: c. a port connected causing a fluid pressure drop from the STMG to the inner chamber, and wherein the port can be used for flowing gas into the inner chamber, and wherein the first pressure is greater than the second pressure.
