ABOUT ADRIAN BLACK

Committed to turning science into scalable impact, we specialise in developing and scaling adaptive ultrasonic flowcells – modular cavitation reactors, a clean technology designed to improve process yields and reduce energy use across biomass and industrial processing.Our patents cover separation of biomass using ultrasonic cavitation, and we’re pioneering configurable hardware that can be piloted quickly and scaled in series. This approach can be applied across multiple sectors and feedstocks. We\'re driven to deliver measurable results per unit of energy – recognising that every kWh carries both an economic and a carbon cost.I work at the intersection of technology, finance, and market adoption, helping tech move from concept to pilot to scalable impact. I also love helping other startups in their formative stages, sharing lessons learned from scaling ventures and navigating the challenges of early growth, financing, and investment.
