Abstract
Disclosed here are methods of determining magnet position and distance from a resonating component in a sonic reactor of use in upgrading Heavy Oil Feedstock's (HOFs).
Claims19
A sonic reactor comprising:
- a resonating component having a first end and a second end;
- a first magnet drive and a second magnet drive respectively positioned at the first end of the resonating component and the second end of the resonating component, the first and second magnet drives are configured to excite the resonating component to a resonate frequency, wherein the first magnet drive includes a first set of electromagnets positioned around the first end of the resonating component and the second magnet drive includes a second set of electromagnets positioned around the second end of the resonating component;
- and
- a controller connected to the first and second magnet drives configured to activate the electromagnets in the first and second set of electromagnets so that the resonating component vibrates at the resonate frequency.

A sonic reactor comprising:
- a resonating component having a first end and a second end;
- a first set of electromagnets positioned around the first end of the resonating and a second set of electromagnets positioned around the second end of the resonating component configured to excite the resonating component to a resonate frequency, wherein a center-point of a first electromagnet in the first set of electromagnets is positioned at 0 degrees around the resonating component, a center-point of a second electromagnet in the first set of electromagnets is positioned at 120 degrees around the resonating component, and a center-point of a third electromagnet in the first set of electromagnets is positioned at 240 degrees around the resonating component;
- and
- a controller connected to the first and second set of electromagnets configured to activate the electromagnets in the first and second set of electromagnets so that resonating component vibrates at the resonate frequency.
