Mitton Cavitation

Mitton Cavitation, also known as Mitton Valve Technology Inc., provides industrial-scale cavitation reactor systems designed for various fluid remediation and processing applications. The company’s core technology, the Mitton Cavitation Reactor (MCR), utilizes controlled, sensor-automated cavitation—the formation and collapse of microscopic vapor bubbles—to generate intense, localized pressure, heat, and shearing forces within a liquid. By applying this technology, the reactors can break emulsions, facilitate cell lysis, generate hydroxyl radicals, and separate oils, solids, and pollutants from water without the reactor components coming into contact with the cavitation surface itself. The systems are characterized by their compact, stackable, and energy-efficient design, capable of being integrated into existing industrial workflows as a plug-and-play solution.

This technology is primarily utilized for industrial and environmental wastewater remediation, assisting sectors such as oil and gas, food processing, and agriculture. The reactors enable companies to manage odors, recover nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, and treat complex slurries or sludges, effectively reducing the load on traditional wastewater treatment facilities. Originally developed from valve technology intended for automotive applications, the company has evolved to provide scalable, automated solutions that serve industrial-scale flow volumes. The systems are used for diverse purposes including frac water remediation, biofuel harvesting, and removing pollutants from natural water sources to improve environmental stewardship.
