Measuring the efficiency of ultrasound application in-situ

Bio-Sep公司开发了一种专利的低能量超声波分馏工艺，可以将可持续的木质生物质分解成平台化学物质，而不会释放吸收的碳。经过多次开发，我们设计了一种新颖的、非接触式、非侵入式的通管超声系统，将超声能量应用于管道内流动的泥浆。该系统运行良好，但我们需要帮助，以优化超声波能量的应用，进一步提高我们的起始物料的分馏。与ASTUTE卓越中心合作，我们计划使用复杂浆液的计算模拟来模拟我们的超声系统。这种高度新颖的模型将使我们能够进一步改进并最终优化我们的超声波设计，帮助我们最大限度地提高我们的工艺效率和性能。

Bio-Sep has developed a patented, low energy ultrasonic fractionation process for breaking down sustainable woody biomass into platform chemicals without releasing the absorbed carbon. Following numerous development steps, we have designed a novel, non-contact, non-intrusive, through-pipe sonication system to apply the ultrasound energy to the flowing slurry inside the pipe. This system works well, but we need help in order to optimise the application of ultrasonic energy and further improve fractionation of our starting materials.Working with ASTUTE Centre of Excellence, we plan to model our sonication system using computational simulations of complex slurries. This highly novel modelling will allow us to further improve and ultimately optimise our sonicator design, helping us to maximise the efficiency and performance of our process.
