Abstract: A method for generation of cavitation within a flowing liquid, wherein expenditure for equipment for purposeful generation of cavitation and control of the cavitated liquid portion can be achieved by passing the liquid from a high-level reservoir through a downwardly flowing path which includes an outlet nozzle, at least one pipe bend connected to the outlet nozzle and a drop-pipe with a control valve in the vicinity of the lower end of the drop pipe.

Abstract: It is intended to simplify and make easier cavitation treatment in a process and equipment for treatment of liquid/solids mixtures, in particular for conditioning of suspended solids by means of cavitation. In the process, this is achieved by means of the fact that the material mixture to be treated is withdrawn from a high-level reservoir, passed through at least one pipe bend and then to a drop-pipe in such a way that a cavitation zone forms in the flow at least in areas upstream, within and downstream of the pipe bend and in terms of equipment by means of the fact that the equipment consists of a high-level reservoir (1), an outlet nozzle (2) preferably in a horizontal position, at least one pipe bend (3) connected to the outlet nozzle (2), and a drop-pipe (4) and a control valve (5) in the vicinity of the end of the drop-pipe.
