Cavitation Technologies sells Nano Reactors to Colombian biodiesel producer

Cavitation Technologies Inc.


Cavitation Technologies Inc., a company that designs and manufactures innovative flow-through nanotechnology systems for fluid-processing applications worldwide, announced April 25 it has received two purchase orders for its low-pressure Nano Reactor® system from a biodiesel production facility in Colombia, South America, for biodiesel production with an expected capacity of 400 metric tons (more than 120,000 gallons) per day.




Biodiesel production is important for its potential to provide a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional diesel fuel, while also offering economic and energy security benefits.



“The quality of the biodiesel produced from low-grade feedstock utilizing our Biodiesel Nano Reactor® was found to be superior to the quality of biodiesel being produced utilizing conventional methods and technologies,” said Neil Voloshin, CEO of Cavitation Technologies. “This is going to be our third installation in Colombia.”



The growth of the biodiesel industry in Colombia has been mainly driven by palm oil, which is the country’s primary feedstock for biodiesel production.



Colombia is one of the world’s top producers of palm oil, and the oil is readily available, making it a cost-effective feedstock for biodiesel production.



According to data from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE), biodiesel production in Colombia has seen significant growth over the past decade, increasing from 13.5 million gallons in 2009 to 297.3 million gallons in 2020.



In 2020, biodiesel represented about 8 percent of total diesel consumption in the country.



As an add-on to existing neutralization and pretreatment, Cavitation Technologies’ patented technology is able to reduce oil losses, the amount of caustic and acid required for neutralization.



The company’s 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, Cavitation Technologies says its 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.



Founded in 2007, the company designs and manufactures innovative flow-through devices and systems, as well as develops processing technologies for use in edible-oil refining, renewable fuel production, water treatment, and alcoholic-beverage enhancement.



Its patented Nano Reactor® systems and various technologies have more than 40 patents issued and filed both domestically and abroad.
