Hoʻohana ʻia nā mea hana wai kani kani i ka hopena cavitation o ka ultrasound, ʻo ia hoʻi i ka wā e hoʻolaha ai ka ultrasound i loko o kahi wai, hana ʻia nā puka liʻiliʻi i loko o ka wai ma muli o ka haʻalulu ikaika o nā ʻāpana wai. Hoʻonui wikiwiki kēia mau puka liʻiliʻi a

paʻa, hoʻoulu ʻia i nā kuʻi ikaika ma waena o nā ʻāpana wai, e hopena i ke kaomi ʻana o kekahi mau tausani a i ʻumi kaukani o nā lewa. ʻO ka micro jet i hana ʻia e ka pilina ikaika ma waena o kēia mau mea e hoʻoulu ai i kahi ʻano o nā hopena e like me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i ka ʻāpana, ka ʻāpana cell, de aggregation, a me ka hui pū ʻana i loko o ka mea, a laila e pāʻani maikaʻi i ka dispersion, homogenization, stirring, emulsification, extraction, a pēlā aku.
