CVD Develops Advanced Fluid Reactors
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y., (Business Wire) – November 26, 2018 – CVD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ: CVV), a leading provider of chemical vapor deposition systems has developed a family of advanced Fluid Reactors based on its innovations in nanotechnology and chemical vapor deposition technology. The Fluid Reactor is enabled by a novel reactor core element which allows the efficient transfer of gases into and out of liquids. The market adoption of this technology could supplant existing hollow fiber membrane technology for applications including filtration and liquid gasification or degasification. One such application is blood oxygenation cartridges, known as Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenators, which are typically used during cardio pulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery and are essential for life support. CVD has a patent pending embodying this technology.
CVD’s advanced Fluid Reactor incorporates an open-pore cellular network nanotechnology material having a strong bi-continuous phase structure. Two key steps in the material manufacturing are Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) growth of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) followed by a Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) process. “We are very excited for the potential applications of this nanotechnology material developed in our Applications Laboratory and we feel this material system has significant market potential,” said Leonard Rosenbaum, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Rosenbaum further stated that, “Nanotechnology allows us to achieve fluid reactors having greater than a 10x active surface area to reactor core volume ratio as compared to fluid reactors based on traditional hollow fiber membranes. When optimally packaged, this translates into a higher productivity rate for a targeted fluid reaction per given fluid volume. For example, for blood oxygenation, this should enable the building of blood oxygenator cartridges that are more compact, have less pressure drop and cause less damage to red blood cells, all of which could lead to a reduction in post-surgical complications.”
