Abstract: The present invention relates to an emulsion-producing hydraulic circuit. The hydraulic circuit includes a by-pass loop comprising a first end and a second end, where the first end of the by-pass loop and the second end of the by-pass loop are connected to a supply line of the hydraulic circuit before and after a pump. The asynchronous by-pass loop also includes a control valve, and the by-pass loop transfers a portion of an emulsion and/or any separated liquid that has accumulated in the hydraulic circuit to the supply line to be re-emulsified. Also disclosed is a method for re-emulsifying a separated liquid present in a hydraulic circuit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for emulsifying a mixture. The device includes a body defining a cavitation chamber, the body comprising a first and second opening and the cavitation chamber comprising an entry port and an exit port. The first opening is connected to the entry port and the second opening is connected to the exit port. The device includes a replaceable nozzle positioned in the entry port and an adjustable counter baffle positioned in the cavitation chamber to impinge flow of solution entering the cavitation chamber from the nozzle. Also disclosed is a method of emulsifying a mixture. This method involves providing the device of the present invention, introducing a mixture into the first opening of the device, and recovering an emulsified solution from the second opening of the device.
