ExxonMobil, Arisdyne eye cavitation process for downstream production
ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Co. (EMRE) has signed an agreement with Arisdyne Systems to jointly develop and commercialize new applications based on Arisdyne’s controlled flow cavitation (CFC) technology for the production of petroleum-based fuels, lubricants and chemicals.
CFC can provide high shear forces used for superior mixing and creation of localized thermal energy.
“EMRE and Arisdyne are combining our petroleum processing technology to produce a cavitation process to address today's challenges across our upstream, downstream and chemicals business lines, and improve today’s global petroleum processing," said Vijay Swarup, vice president, research and development at EMRE.
Arisdyne Systems Inc. is a provider of hydrodynamic cavitation equipment and specializes in designing small footprint devices that utilize its patented controlled flow hydrodynamic cavitation and applies its CFC technology to achieve exception sheer forces for superior mixing or particle size reductions in numerous applications including vegetable oil refining, fuel ethanol production and wastewater processing.
EMRE is ExxonMobil’s global fuels and lubricants research and development arm. Additionally, EMRE also licenses technologies that provide significant value while improving safety, reliability and energy efficiency.
