Higher surface refreshing in electrochemical or photon related reactions can result in higher mass transfer. Any chemical reaction that must occur on a surface could benefit from our surface refreshing technology by improving the exposure, the selectivity, and the yield by decreasing surface area requirements, operational costs, capital costs and footprint requirements.

Our unique reactor design imparts five different mixing forces on the liquid at any given point in the reactor. These extreme mixing forces increase the rate of surface refreshing on the inner surface of the housing. The result is a concentration gradient at the surface, which cycles the process chemicals for the treatment. This action increases the mass transfer of photons in our UV-SPR and Electrons in our Electro-SPR.

At any fixed point on the inner housing surface, the refreshing rate may be as high as several thousand times per second.
