Cavitation Technologies receives new purchase order for low-pressure Nano-Reactor systems
Cavitation Technologies Inc., designer and manufacturer of innovative flow-through nano-technology systems for fluid-processing applications worldwide, announced Oct. 13 the sale of two low-pressure Nano-Reactor (LPN) systems for installation in a soybean-oil refinery in India in collaboration with its strategic partner Desmet Ballestra Group.
Soy oil is the second most consumed vegetable oil in the world, according to the USDA. This segment currently accounts for a 29.6 percent share of the global vegetable-oils market.
Markets in Asia Pacific such as China and India have greatly expanded soy-oil consumption. As they can now afford to purchase more oil, the increased purchasing power of Chinese and Indian consumers has contributed to dramatic rises in consumption. The vegetable-oils market in Asia Pacific is forecast to reach 8.1 million metric tons by the year 2026, with the potential to reach 258.4 million metric tons globally in the same year.
South Asia’s increasing demand for quality food oils is better met with Cavitation Technologies’ ESG-compliant, disruptive technologies that provide yield improvement and chemical-input reduction, among other substantial proven benefits to legacy food oil refining systems.
Soybean oil’s growing popularity is driven by an increase in the use by food processors and foodservice providers for baked and fried food products or for sale as cooking oil in packaged bottles.
Soybean oil is now being used by the recently established biodiesel industry in many countries to create environmentally friendly renewable fuel. This is also expected to fuel market expansion over the forecast period.
“We are excited to reach a milestone of our 11th Nano-Reactor system deployed in India, 17th in Southeast Asia, and seek to continue our positive environmental impact in the region,” said Neil Voloshin, CEO of Cavitation Technologies.
The LPN multistage Nano Reactor is designed to achieve an improved performance over conventional technologies and covers a wide range of applications in processing large volumes of fluids.
In vegetable-oil refining, the LPN technology offers an enhanced performance, lowered operating expenses, reduced environmental impact, exceptional oil quality, improved shelf life, and reduction of up to 90 percent of the harsh chemicals used in conventional edible vegetable oil refining processes.
In addition to chemical refining of vegetable oils, Cavitation Technologies’ technology is applicable to food and beverages, water, pharmaceutical and medical cannabis, coatings and fuels.
