About
Laminera Flow Optimization is focused on disrupting the fluid transport sector. The company is committed to improving and optimizing global water, oil, and gas pipeline infrastructure by reducing energy and maintenance costs while enhancing capacity, all without having to replace existing infrastructure.
Laminera Flow Optimization’s innovative energy efficiency technology is designed to suppress turbulence by continuously generating low-frequency pressure waves, thereby achieving minimal hydrodynamic resistance for the pipeline transport process and reducing friction losses within the pipeline.
The company has developed a novel active-flow control device that introduces unsteady pressure waves into turbulent pipe flow and causes a relaminarization of the flow, reducing friction on the pipe walls and subsequently reducing drag.
The device consists of a rotating impeller located outside of the main pipe flow which induces a small inflow upstream of the mainline pump and returns the extracted fluid via an outflow pipe imparted with oscillating pressure waves from the impeller. This effect is designed to be sustainable for a significant length of pipe, enabling non-trivial energy savings in the area of input pump work.
