The ShockWave Power™ Concentration and Evaporation System

The ShockWave Power™ Concentration System is the best system on the market for evaporating water from solutions. The system is perfect for removing water from oil, concentrating glycol or reducing volumes of wastewater. At the heart of the system is the patented ShockWave Power™ Reactor (SPR) that creates controlled cavitation for heating. This noncombustible heating technology assures that there will be no scale buildup inside the SPR (formerly called the Hydrosonic Pump™). That is correct! Hydro Dynamics guarantees that regardless of the material being heated, there will be NO SCALING. This eliminates most of the maintenance headaches and associated expense. 

With conventional technologies, heat is transferred into a cooler liquid by a much hotter metal surface. The temperature differential between hot metal and a cooler liquid forces impurities to migrate from the liquid and buildup on the hotter metal surface. This buildup is called scale.

In the ShockWave Power™ Reactor there are no heat transfer surfaces--the metal surfaces are actually cooler than the liquid. Impurities will not migrate from a hotter liquid and buildup on cooler metal—therefore, there is no reason for our system to scale. The DT between the liquid and the metal has been eliminated. The SPR heats liquids in a totally different way and creates the heat in a totally different place---“inside the liquid”. The heat is created where it is needed.

The System can be run as a batch, semi-continuous, or continuous process depending on the desire of the customer. In all three methods, the untreated liquid flows continuously in a loop between the ShockWave Power™ Reactor and the separation tank. As the liquid is heated, water will be removed in the form of steam. This steam can be used to preheat the incoming liquid or other processes on site. 

The ShockWave Power™ Reactor can be manufactured from carbon steel, stainless steel or a non-metallic composite. The SPR can be powered from an electric motor, a diesel engine or any power takeoff device. The System is designed to withstand severe environmental operating conditions. All components are purchased from suppliers with a worldwide reputation for quality and service.
