Abstract
The device is a hollow annular member bounding a liquid flow passageway. The member has a gas inlet and a row of apertures around the throat of the passageway to emit gas bubbles into the liquid to induce an upward flow of gasified liquid. The base of the hollow is weighted and the device is freely suspended by a line in the liquid. The suspending line passes freely through a horizontal tube suspension point effectively rigid with the member and a substantial distance above the member. This improves stability of the device against bodily movements and oscillations due to flow reactions, and enables level placement of the suspended device in a desired location.
