How Cavitation Works

Wastewater Remediation RE-IMAGINED

Cavitation is the microscopic formation and violent collapse of vapor cavities in liquid. In industry, it has a notorious reputation as a powerfully destructive force for degrading mechanical components.

By incorporating a technical leap forward that empowers a small, robust, high-efficiency reactor to control the power of cavitation without suffering from its effects, the award-winning Mitton Cavitation Reactor (MCR) harnesses this destructive force and bends it to constructive ends. The ability to apply cavitation to industrial-scale fluid volumes using only a small amount of mechanical energy changes everything from how we reclaim water and manage odors from industrial processes to how we break emulsions and re-purpose waste into energy.

Treating approximately 1000 gallons of liquid using as little as 1 kilowatt per hour, and with a throughput capability of 66 gpm up to 2,112 gpm, a MCR systems creates a constructive harnessed-cavitation field that generates intense, localized pressure, heat and shearing forces to do the heavy lifting at the microscopic level.
