About
PDT Agro uses pulse detonation technology (PDT) to create shock waves that can be used for a variety of applications. The company is developing solutions for the agricultural sector, including an environmentally friendly bird-control system and a soil-disinfection machine. The technology takes advantage of the gas dynamics and thermodynamic processes associated with detonative combustion. Rapid combustion is created via a detonation wave produced by a premixed fuel/oxidizer mixture. The systems detonation process is designed to be well controlled, reliable, and economical. PDT Agros Thunder Generator scares birds away from crops using both sound and shock waves. Birds often grow accustomed to loud sounds, but the abrupt change in air pressure caused by shock waves can effectively disperse birds without harming them. The company is adapting the same technology for use as a nonlethal riot-control solution. The company is also pioneering PDT as a revolutionary approach to the challenge of effective agricultural soil disinfection. Soil disinfection (soil pest management) is a standard procedure among crop growers throughout the world to prevent the destructive effects of soil parasites and pathogens on crops.
