Full Description

UltraSep continuously tracks system eigenfrequencies and locks ultrasonic output to resonance, ensuring maximum acoustic energy coupling and eliminating wasted off-frequency power. An autotuning algorithm adjusts the ultrasound frequency and amplitude to consistently maximize the separation efficiency in dynamic or inhomogeneous flows. Together, resonance locking and energy-per-removal optimization create a closed-loop, adaptive separation system that converts separation from a mechanically intensive process into a precision-engineered, low-energy acoustic platform.

Value Proposition

UltraSep is an intelligent ultrasonic separation platform that transforms solid–liquid separation through real-time eigenfrequency resonance locking and ultra-low power energy optimization. By dynamically matching ultrasonic output to system resonance while maximizing particulate removal per unit of applied energy, UltraSep replaces centrifugation and fouling-prone filtration with precision-controlled acoustic forces that significantly reduce power consumption, mechanical complexity, and operating cost while improving recovery performance. This integrated platform unites patented resonance-based acoustic control and energy-per-removal optimization with chemistry-enhanced separation and proprietary system software into a scalable, high-impact commercial technology.

Advantages

Resonance-locked acoustic excitation that maximizes acoustic coupling efficiency and eliminates off-frequency energy loss
Maximum particulate removal per applied energy through optimized ultrasonic field control
Integrated resonance tracking and energy optimization for adaptive, closed-loop system performance

Competitive Position

UltraSep is a platform technology, not a single device.

It unifies resonance-locked acoustic control, ultra-low power optimization, chemistry-enhanced separation, and proprietary system software into a defensible system protected by layered IP coverage through 2039 and beyond.

IP Portfolio

The UltraSep platform is supported by a layered intellectual property framework covering acoustic physics, energy optimization, chemical process enhancement and system control software. This layered IP strategy protects not only individual components, but the integrated system architecture that enables intelligent, energy-optimized separation performance.
