Radial Counterflow
Vorsana’s radial counterflow technology is a flexible and scalable solution for separating a variety of pollutants and materials. It harnesses the power of vortex separation between co-axial counter-rotating disks creating special vortex patterns. The resulting centrifugal forces cause heavier fractions to separate from lighter fractions, resulting in a powerful mechanical separation mechanism for solid, liquid, and gas material. Radial counterflow can be applied to a variety of applications to reduce GHG emissions, restore compromised environments, and create sustainable products for the future.

Radial Counterflow & Solid Waste
Harnessing the use of pyrolysis, friction, and heat Vorsana’s radial counterflow mechanically separates a variety of solid material such as biomass, oil shale, agriculture and municipal waste.
Radial Counterflow & Liquid Waste
Radial counterflow is combined with induction, filtration, and cavitation to deliver a number of innovative solutions for wastewater management, tailing ponds reclamation, desalination, and water purification.
Radial Counterflow & Gases
Radial counterflow can be applied to emissions capture and utilization, by capturing pollutants based on molecular weight, and transforming them with electrolysis.
| Continuous pyrolysis of biomass or oil sand without using any water, extruding char for soil improvement while safely extracting steam and hydrocarbons. (Testing at Portland State University).
| Separation of gases, liquids and solids with a high shear crossflow filter for continuous clarifying, degassing, and sludge thickening.
| Fly ash, mercury, and CO2 capture by mechanical vortex gas separation, without added heat or chemicals. (Testing at the University of Idaho).
| Electromechanical desalination in a continuous process using an RF inductor and high shear for crystallizing scale and salt and concentrating trace metals. (Testing at the University of Idaho).
5. The Cavitation Water Purifier
| Disinfection of water and precipitation of metals and scale using mechanical energy, not chemicals; also suitable for field water purification in disaster areas.
| Power harvesting from turbine exhaust steam while reducing water loss from cooling towers at power plants.
7. The Muffler
| Noise suppression, soot collection, and NOx cracking for cleaning internal combustion exhaust while increasing engine performance.
| High shear between oppositely-charged electrodes cracks CO2 or methane and continuously extrudes elemental carbon as nanotubes. Cracking CO2 with steam creates syngas, thereby storing surplus wind or solar power, and in effect turning CO2 into a battery.
9. Hyperplastic
| Carbon nanotubes in a polymer foam matrix are welded into a conductive mesh under microhammering from a radio frequency inductor. Combines many of the best features of metal and plastics, suitable for next-generation batteries.
| A method of spinning a long nanotube cable, suitable for power transmission or structural engineering.
11. Bioreactor
| An algae churn for continuous extraction of oxygen and feed of CO2 while extruding dewatered biomass.
