An ultrasonic processor comprising a hollow elongated enclosure 2 having an inlet end 3 and an outlet end 4 with flange mounts 5 and 6, and a plurality of ultrasonic transducers 7 coupled to the enclosure between the inlet and outlet ends. The ultrasonic transducers are capable of applying ultrasonic waves to a material passing through the enclosure such that small cavities are created that cause rapid localized heating can cooling (cavitation), and there is a control system for the transducers. The enclosure is sized so as to ensure that the ultrasonic waves are applied to substantially all of the material passing through the enclosure. This increases the efficiency of the process. Applications of the processor include the separating of oil from drill cuttings, the separation of contaminants from soil materials, and the preparation of a coating composition (such as paint). |
