It is a disruptive technology that has wide market reach from the refining of edible oils, algal oil extraction, renewable fuel production, alcoholic beverage enhancement, water treatment and petroleum feedstock processing.

Nano-neutralization technology is now processing over 350 million liters of edible oil per annum, offering significant improvements over traditional processing techniques currently utilized in a number of applications and industries. Advantages include excellent separation of heavy aqueous phases from light oils, increased yields and reduced soap concentrations in the neutralized oil phase.

The nano neutralization is based on the phenomena known as hydrodynamic cavitation. Fluids pass through a series of constricted zones at sufficient velocity allowing for controlled, cavitation-assisted processing of oil-based fluids.

The highly specialized, multi-stage, robust, flow-through cavitation devices, reactors and systems serve a diverse set of needs. They reduce the need for ancillary processes such as dehydration, degumming, bleaching and deodorizing. This helps eliminate or reduce the amount of silica, phosphoric acid or citric acid used in the oil refining process. These systems offer superior performance, remarkable reproducibility and are in line to become an industry standard in the field of edible oil processing.
