The Prosonix Prosonitropn equipment range is quite diverse and expanding constantly, and, moreover, can be bespoke for you particuilar requirements.

P750 HD and P500 HD flow cellsThe Prosonitron equipment comes in two main designs, the P500 HD and P750 HD flow cells, shown left, and have 21 and 42 transducers bonded to the pipe respectively. The standard cell design constructed around 6" nominal bore pipe. All flow cells are set up to deliver ultrasound at a nominal 20 kHz with automatic fine tuning to optimise the delivery of ultrasound into the process medium. Transducers are arranged in rows of 7 with each row having dedicated independent power setting. 

 

 

 

Multiple flow cell scale-up

Ultrasonic power to be delivered to each row of transducers can be set by the user and electronic controls built into the system will automatically adjust electrical power demand to maintain the desired level of ultrasonic power input to the fluid independent of the efficiency of the equipment. This allows the processing experience to be maintained and reproduced.  The maximum power capability of the standard P500 HD and P 750 HD systems are 600 W and 1200 W respectively. Beyond 1200 W, multiple flow cells may be linked together in series or parallel configurations as shown left. Using this method of scale-up, the processing environment, always based around transducers bonded to a 6" pipe, can be maintained.

 

P500 HD with ANSI flange and tri-clover connectionsTwo standard materials of construction for the walls of the flow cells are available. These are hastelloy C276 and 316L stainless steel. In the case of the stainless steel flow cells, a coating of chromium is applied to provide a hardened surface to resist mechanical wear and is targeted at high power applications whereas the hastelloy cells are aimed at the pharmaceutical sector.

 

 

Connections to the flow cells come in either a standard 6" class 150 ANSI flanged end (right of image above)or a 6" tri-clover end as shown immediately above. In the case of the tri-clover connections (left of image above) electropolishing is also performed as part of the finishing process for use in sterile environments.
