One Of North America's Largest Biodiesel Producers Relies On ShockWave Power™ Reactors which are supplied by Hydro Dynamics, Inc. (read more)

Everyone is familiar with the sound of banging water pipes. Laymen call it "water hammer", scientists call it "cavitation", Hydro Dynamics calls it "ShockWave Power™" and has harnessed this "destructive force" and applied it for useful purposes. The technology is embodied in a patented device called a "ShockWave Power™ Reactor" (SPR). (read more)

Hydro Dynamics, Inc. would like to announce the shipment of two of its BD100 ShockWave Power Reactor™ capable of 100 million gallons/year of biodiesel throughput. The biodiesel reactors are to be installed in one of the largest biodiesel plants in the world. (read more)

The ShockWave Power™ Reactor harnesses cavitation to mix gas into liquid in seconds. Gas/Liquid mixing is one of the most widely used processes in industry. Since gases and liquids are in two different phases, mixing them consistently and uniformly is not an easy task. Long retention times and excessive gas additions are often... (read more)

The ShockWave Power™ Reactor harnesses cavitation to thick and viscous liquids in seconds. The process intensity drives the mixing to be completely homogenous. Whether in batch or continuous systems the SPR mixes thick liquids easily and uniformly. This includes liquid-liquid, gas-liquid and liquid-solid. (read more)

The ShockWave Power™ Reactor harnesses cavitation to hydrate gums, gels and polymers in seconds. The process intensity helps more completely hydrate the powders than with conventional mixers in a fraction of the time. This can result in raw powder savings, higher viscosity or higher quality because of a completely homogenous product. (read more)

The ShockWave Power™ Reactor harnesses cavitation to heat liquids in seconds, whether in batch or continuous systems. This heating can be done with pinpoint accuracy and consistently by varying rpms through a temperature controller and variable frequency drive. There is no temperature gradient or hot or cold spots. There is also no heat transfer surface... (read more)

The ShockWave Power™ Reactor harnesses cavitation to emulsify liquids in seconds, whether in batch or a continuous system. The ShockWave Power™ Reactor has an elegantly simple and robust design proven through years of commercial operation in the chemical, petroleum, and food industries. (read more)

The SPR technology harnesses cavitation to transesterify vegetable or animal fats in seconds. When the cavitation bubbles collapse and produce shockwaves, powerful forces are generated that cut up the process material into microscopic sizes. (read more)
