Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 93 words
Apparatus for mixing a gas and a liquid having an interface therebetween comprising: a platform floating on said liquid; a centrifugal pump having a pumping chamber with an inlet and a discharge supported on said platform, the inlet to said pumping chamber being located partially above and below the interface between said gas and said liquid so that both the gas and liquid are drawn into said pumping chamber where they are mixed and the mixture discharged through said pump discharge; and power means drivingly connected to said pump supported on said platform.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 93 words
Apparatus for mixing a gas and a liquid having an interface therebetween comprising: a platform floating on said liquid; a centrifugal pump having a pumping chamber with an inlet and a discharge supported on said platform, the inlet to said pumping chamber being located partially above and below the interface between said gas and said liquid so that both the gas and liquid are drawn into said pumping chamber where they are mixed and the mixture discharged through said pump discharge; and power means drivingly connected to said pump supported on said platform.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 87 words
Apparatus for mixing a gas and a liquid having an interface therebetween comprising: a platform; a centrifugal pump having a pumping chamber with an inlet and a discharge supported on said platform, both the inlet to said pumping chamber and said pumping chamber being located partially above and below the interface between said gas and said liquid so that both said gas and liquid flow into said pumping chamber when said pump is not operating; and power means drivingly connected to said pump supported on said platform.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 87 words
Apparatus for mixing a gas and a liquid having an interface therebetween comprising: a platform; a centrifugal pump having a pumping chamber with an inlet and a discharge supported on said platform, both the inlet to said pumping chamber and said pumping chamber being located partially above and below the interface between said gas and said liquid so that both said gas and liquid flow into said pumping chamber when said pump is not operating; and power means drivingly connected to said pump supported on said platform.
