Publication number: 20250001327Abstract: An example of a method and apparatus to carry out the method are provided. The method involves receiving a process fluid into a cavitation chamber via an inlet. The process fluid is pumped into the cavitation chamber at an inlet pressure, and includes a first component and a second component. The method further involves reducing a pressure of the process fluid in the cavitation chamber as the process fluid moves away from the inlet. The pressure is reduced from the inlet pressure to below a fluid vapor pressure to create micro-bubbles. In addition, the method involves collapsing the micro-bubbles to generate a localized energy release. The localized energy release separates the first component from the second component to form a separated fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2021Publication date: January 2, 2025Applicant: Avonlea Technology Holdings Corp.Inventors: Douglas James Brett, Ronald Otto Lincz
