Hydro Carbon Remediation

The Hydro-Pro System is the key component to cleaning up Hydro Carbons in contaminated soil. Our partners hold all patents, trade secrets, and know-how to successfully operate contaminated site clean-up projects around the world.


The Technology
The patented Reactor is a device/technology that both affects the molecular structure and influences the molecular charge of organic fluids, gases and liquids. In its simplest form, the HYDROPRO Reactor exists as a coaxial tube, in which flow enters the tube and is then subject to engineered hydrodynamics and catalyst contact. Within the tube are a series of channels and perforations. The flow dynamics in the inner tube cause jets of the medium, either fluid or gas, to impact inner surfaces and the outer tube. The jets impact a special metal catalyst (lining the outer tube) while simultaneously reaching a point of minimal pressure, thereby inducing vaporization (production of micro-bubbles) of the media. As the bubbles move toward areas of higher pressure, they collapse and induce areas of locally high temperatures and pressures. This rapid creation and collapse of bubbles, or cavitation, coupled with the catalyst cause the medium to undergo thermal, electrical and sonochemical reactions within the Reactor. This combination of simultaneous reactions affects the molecular structure and charge of the medium in a manner that, depending upon the original nature of the fluid or gas being treated, produces beneficial effects including:

• Enhanced molecular homogeneity
• Reduction or elimination of non-homogenous materials entrained or emulsified in the medium
• Greater oxidation efficiencies

The four critical design criteria incorporated in the "Process" and "HYDROPRO Reactor" are as follows: The material composition of the device includes specific alloys or combinations thereof, which are known to have catalytic properties and characteristics. This in conjunction with (MHD), results in a negative charge being imparted into the fluid or gas. Mechanical pressure is utilized in lieu of exothermic heat. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is maximized in the design of the device to direct the induced magnetic field back into the liquid or gas, thus imparting a charge directly into the liquid or gas. The internal configuration of the device is designed to create specific flow regimes that facilitate the capability of the fluids or gases to accept the negative charge.
