HyCa Technologies Pvt Ltd : Cavitation Reactors HyCator® Reactor SystemWhat is hydrodynamic cavitation technology? In a flowing fluid or slurry when the ambient pressure goes below the vapor pressure, a cavitation void or “bubbles” form. On recovery of the ambient pressure, this bubble collapses with an intense localized energy release, which has temperatures to the extent of several thousand degrees, pressures of several hundred bars and huge turbulence. We know how to create and collapse precisely tailored bubbles to modulate the pressure, temperature, turbulence and formation of free radicals due to the phenomena. This knowledge is used to transform physical, chemical and biological processes in a more efficient and effective way using our HyCator™ reactors. Nuclei Expansion Phase Maximum radius Collapse Phase Collapse of the void (Cavity) on removal of energy source Bang! Break in the cohesive forces in the liquid continuum formation of voids Growth of voids with continual supply of energy Release of energy • Specific Effects: • High magnitude pressure pulse, 100 to 5000 atm Extremely high temperatures, 1000 to 12000 K • Velocities in excess of 2 to 3 times that of sound HyCa’s core innovation is the HyCator® design algorithm that allows it’s reactors to create targeted cavitation bubbles required for the specific needs of the process.

Upon client’s request HyCa would sends a detailed questionnaire. On receipt of advance payment and effluent samples. 4. 5. 2. . When the best possible results are obtained and treatment protocol set. If possible. All HyCatorTM reactors are custom designed and fabricated as per the client requirements. the client representative would be called to witness the pilot trials and take back samples for analysis at their end. full scale standalone HyCator™ reactor system is fabricated and delivered. Once Purchase order (PO) with advance is received.Buying procedure 1. Our pilot test results will be shared and HyCa will give a quote for full scale equipment. pilot plant trials will be conducted at our end. 3. This is compulsory as this determines the treatment protocol. On receipt of filled up questionnaire the feasibility of treatment is ascertained. then HyCa would request for pilot trials at our lab & Invoice (PI) will be sent to client for pilot plant trials.
