The air diffusers we have developed can also be applied in separation and purification of fluids (skimmers). Following this line of research, we are beginning to conduct studies to make the necessary changes in their geometry for applications in water treatment and separation processes in the chemical industry.
For these last applications, it is essential an average size in the generated bubbles of less than 100 microns in diameter.
The current separation systems are very inefficient from an energetical point of view and there are also operating difficulties in working with complex multiphase fluids.
For this study we are in contact with major petrochemicals companies.
