A process for enriching water with oxygen, wherein water is conducted through a water inlet into a sealed enriching space and through one or more turbulent mixers in the enriching space, open is introduced through an oxygen inlet into the water in the enriching space before passing through the turbulent mixer, and the oxygen-enriched water is recovered. The invention further includes an aerobic process by carrying out a chemical or microbiological reaction in the oxygen enriched water as the reaction medium, and a therapeutic process of carrying out a therapeutic treatment of a body with an agent containing the oxygen enriched liquid as a vehicle. The invention also concerns as apparatus for enriching water with oxygen, having a water inlet, a sealed enriching space containing an oxygen inlet, and one or more turbulent mixers, and an outlet for oxygenated water.

[ We claim:] [1.] An aerobic process which comprises carrying out one of a chemical reaction and a biological reaction in a reaction medium comprising an oxygen enriched liquid having an oxygen content of at least 40 mg/l oxygen prepared by a process which comprises the steps of:providing a sealed oxygen enriching space having a turbulent mixer comprising a generally tubular section disposed therein;maintaining an oxygen pressure of at least 40 psi in the sealed oxygen enriching space;introducing the liquid through a liquid inlet into the sealed oxygen enriching space;introducing oxygen through an oxygen inlet into the sealed oxygen enriching space;passing the liquid and the oxygen through the turbulent mixer to thereby generate turbulence in the liquid and the oxygen to dissolve the oxygen into the water; andrecovering oxygen-enriched liquid having a dissolved oxygen concentration of at least 40 mg/l from said turbulent mixer, wherein said step of providing a sealed oxygen enriching space comprises providing an enriching space having a venturi for introducing oxygen into the liquid before substantially dissolving the introduced oxygen in the liquid in said turbulent mixer.
