The cone is designed to provide enough
inlet water velocity to break up the oxygen gas entering
the cone. This action forms an intense bubble swarm
which has exceptionally large oxygen/water interface. As
the bubble swarm grows, the cones diameter increases
thereby reducing the water velocity to a point lower
than the buoyant velocity of the bubbles. This prevents
the bubbles from escaping and holds them in suspension
until they are dissolved.
