Flow-Through
NANO Cavitator (the formation, growth, and implosive collapse of gas or vapor-filled
bubbles in liquids) can have substantial chemical and physical effects.
While the chemical effects of acoustic cavitation (i.e.,
sonochemistry and sonoluminescence) have been extensively investigated
during recent years, little is known about the chemical consequences of
hydrodynamic cavitation created during turbulent flow of liquids.
HydroDynamic Technology Inc., developed new innovative patent pending
single stage plazma cavitation process to make biodiesel.
NANO
reactor is a two
stage flow-trough
cavitation
process is a component mix in the NANO
reactor on the
molecular level. All components inside of reactor are influenced with
high pressure impulses and advanced controlled by
NANO flow-trough cavitation.
While processing vegetable oils under
3.5% percent F.F.A. with necessary components in
plasma
9000 reactor the molecules of fatty acids are broken apart with
microexplosions; it results in viscosity decrease cetane
number increase, as well as power parameters of produced fuel improve.
The velocity and quality of going of the esterification reaction also
increase significally. Thus not only quality and quantity data of pure
biodiesel
output but also its production rate increase. |
ROTOR STATOR CAVITATOR CONCEPT
In
heterogeneous liquid–liquid reactions, cavitational
collapse at or near the interface will
cause disruption and
mixing, resulting in the formation of very
fine emulsions.
When such emulsions are formed, the surface
area available
for the reaction between the two phases is
significantly
increased, thus increasing the rates of
reaction. This is
beneficial, particularly in the case of
phase transfer-catalysed
reactions or biphasic systems.
The
different ways in which cavitation can be used beneficially
in the biodiesel processing applications
are;
(a)
Reaction time reduction (instant).
(b)
Increase in the reaction yield.
(c)
Use of less forcing conditions (temperature and pressure) compared to the conventional routes.
(d)
Reduction in the induction period of the desired reaction.
(e)
Possible switching of the reaction pathways resulting
in increased selectivity.
(f)
Increasing the effectiveness of the catalyst used in
the reaction.
(g)
Initiation of the chemical reaction due to generation
of highly reactive free radicals.
*
All reaction is happening in ambient temperature and no agitation or mixing
time is required.
Table 3. It can be seen
from Table 3 that NANO cavitation
is about 40 times more efficient compared to acoustic
cavitation and 160 to 400 times more efficient compared to
the conventional agitation/heating/refluxing method.
