Abstract:
1. A system for treatment of water in an aquatic environment, comprising: a first mixing station in flow communication with a reservoir and comprising a mixer and a source of inert gas for introducing an inert gas into water from the reservoir to provide inert gas saturated water, which inert gas saturated water will displace undesired gasses in the water; a sparging column in flow communication with the first mixing station for receiving the inert gas saturated water and configured to enable the inert gas and undesired gasses to be released from the inert gas saturated water to provide water depleted, relative to the inert gas saturated water, of both the inert gas and the undesired gasses; and a second mixing station in flow communication with the sparging column for receiving the depleted water, the second mixing station comprising a mixer and a source of oxygen or air for oxygenating the depleted water to provide oxygen enriched water.
