Water is becoming an increasingly valuable commodity, with population growth demanding more and more amounts of this limited resource. Increased efforts are directed toward recycling and remediation, as well as desalination of the large quantities of seawater available. Dr. Bertwin Langenecker was a pioneer in utilizing hydrodynamic cavitation in a variety of applications that would remove dissolved solids from water and other liquids. His combination of intense cavitation using a rotor-stator combination, as well as simultaneously adding an adsorbent, demonstrated impressive results in desalination and waste water remediation. In this presentation, a description will be given of Dr. Langenecker’s technology as well as a sampling of some of his most impressive results. Speculations as to why this approach works as well as it does will be presented.
