What is Hydrodynamic Cavitation?
Avonlea’s innovative cavitation technology is a real-time solution with clear results, it is the cost-effective, simple, and field-ready solution that enables operators to:
- treat produced/flowback water for reuse
- provide superior oil/water separation
- increased produced water residual oil recovery
A rapid decrease in localized pressure in a liquid leads to water vaporization and the creation of a nucleus. The nuclei expand into a microbubble, which becomes unstable when reaching the maximum radius. The microbubble then implodes, releasing tremendous energy and shock waves at the molecular level.
Avonlea’s patented Cavitek technology creates thousands of cavitations every second. This extreme energy release can be calibrated to impose chemical reactions, break down difficult emulsions and achieve fluid/gas/solid interactions quickly, easily, and inexpensively.
Cavitek technology can be applied to support:
- Water treatment for reuse
- Residual oil recovery
- Supercharging biocide programs
- Breaking heavy emulsions
- TAN reduction
- Lithium Extraction
- and more
