Oxidation

The SPR 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 required and process inefficiencies are considered normal.

Oxygen Delignification is the removal of lignin from pulp fibers through the reaction with environmentally friendly oxygen.  One of the biggest problems in the industry today is the ability to effectively mix oxygen with the pulp in an economic fashion.  The superior mass transfer of the SPR allows the reaction to be completed more quickly and cheaply.
