    Abstract: An inventive system and method for treatment of contaminated produced water from fracking operations. The inventive system includes a filtration unit, an electrolysis unit, and a cavitation unit. The filtration unit may comprise mesh filtration units or reverse osmosis filtration units. The electrolysis unit may include alternative anode and cathode plates, where the anode plates have a mixed metal oxide coating. Each of the filtration, electrolysis, and cavitation units preferably comprise two or more of each arranged in parallel, such that each can be operated independently without stopping the operation of the entire system. The system and method may further include separation tanks and/or dissolved air flotation tanks—either before or after the electrolysis unit or cavitation unit processing.

    Abstract: A process for increasing protein yield from biomass (beans, oilseeds, cereals, nuts, rice, soybeans, bran, etc.), as well as, for reducing the amount of chemical and biological reagents used in the process, involves application of multiple hydrodynamic cavitation treatments of a biomass suspension or other combination of biomass with solvents and reagents—in the preparation, extraction, and processing or the biomass and proteins. The biomass suspension is preferably subjected to at least three cavitation treatments in order to facilitate the crushing of biomass, splitting of fibers, and rupture of cell membranes, thereby increasing the mass transfer surface area and intensifying the extraction of protein and lipids. At the stage of washing and neutralization the protein solution may be subjected to a fourth cavitation treatment to obtain the purified protein.
