Mentum receives Spinnovation grant from Innovation Norway

Mentum have received a grant from Innovation Norway to support the further development of Mentum’s Close Circuit Cavitation (C3T) concept. The C3T technology applies controlled and targeted hydrodynamic cavitation for purposes such as treatment (e.g. disinfection, changing chemical characteristics, etc.), mixing (e.g. blended fuels, to improve a products shelf life, etc.), sizing (e.g. grinding, nano-sizing, etc.) and flow improvement (e.g. reducing drag along passing surfaces.).

Currently the C3T technology is applied in the OceanSaver Ballast Water Management System where it applies a cavitation field releasing pressure peaks ranging up to above 1000 bar at a frequency of 100 kHz. The fund will help Mentum identify other market areas for the C3T technology.
