Abstract
This invention relates to apparatus for treating sewage sludge in a hyperbaric vessel in which the sludge is oxygenated by injecting an oxygen-rich gas into the sewage sludge and then dispersing the mixture of sludge and oxygen-rich gas into the upper portion of a hyperbaric vessel for further interaction with an oxygen-rich atmosphere. The oxygen-rich gas is injected into the sewage sludge by delivering the gas to a combination gas and sludge mixing and dispersing assembly. The gas and sludge are mixed within a plurality of channels formed in the assembly before the mixture is dispersed from the channels.
