A disk-pack turbine comprising:
- a top rotor having an axially centered opening passing therethrough,
- a plurality of disks having a substantially even thickness throughout that is less than 5 mm and at least two waveforms present on each disk, each disk having an axially centered opening passing therethrough,
- a bottom rotor axially centered with said top rotor and said plurality of disks, and
- at least one connection component connecting said top rotor, said plurality of disks and said bottom rotor.

A water treatment system comprising:
- a motor;
- a driveshaft engaging said motor;
- a vortex module having
- a housing,
- a plurality of inlets spaced around the periphery of the housing near a top of said housing, and
- a vortex chamber formed in said housing and in fluid communication with said plurality of inlets;
- a disk-pack module having
- a housing having a accumulation chamber formed in said disk-pack housing, and said accumulation chamber having a plurality of discharge ports providing a fluid pathway from said accumulation chamber to outside of said disk-pack housing, and
- a disk-pack having an expansion chamber formed in an axial center and in fluid communication with said vortex chamber, said disk-pack having a plurality of spaced apart disks providing chambers between them to form a plurality of passageways between said expansion chamber and said accumulation chamber, said disk-pack engaging said driveshaft;
- and
- a particulate separator including
- a connection member having a passageway capable of being in fluid communication with the discharge port,
- a discharge module having
- a discharge chamber in fluid communication with said passageway, and
- a particulate discharge port in fluid communication with said discharge chamber.
