Abstract
The method includes the steps of compressing a carrier to eliminate gas nuclei before exposure of the carrier to the gas; exposing the compressed carrier to the gas under pressure to form a gas-saturated compressed carrier; transporting the gas-saturated compressed carrier to the delivery system; and infusing the gas-saturated compressed carrier from the delivery system at an exit port to the environment without associated bubble formation and cavitation proximate the exit port so that the gas is transported to the site within the environment in solution with the carrier in a supersaturated state, the gas being liberated therefrom remote from the exit port upon arrival at the site within the environment.
