Abstract:
An acoustic standing wave is utilized to separate components from a multi-component fluid, such as oil from an oil-water mixture, or cells entrained in a fluid, in a fluid flow scheme with an acoustophoresis device. For example, the flow scheme and device allows for trapping of the oil as the oil coalesces, agglomerates, and becomes more buoyant than the water. A driver and controller for the acoustophoretic device accommodate variable loading as the components are separated, thereby improving separation efficiency.

Claim (Index 1):
An acoustophoresis system, comprising:\n a chamber for receiving a fluid mixture that includes cells or particles in a fluid; an ultrasonic transducer coupled to the chamber and configured to be excited to generate an acoustic wave in the chamber; and a driver electrically connected to the ultrasonic transducer and configured to provide an excitation to the ultrasonic transducer to generate the acoustic wave in the chamber, the driver including an amplifier.
