a tank configured to contain a mix of liquids, or of one or more liquids, and solid parts;
a plurality of circulating paths each having a delivery section and a return section; and
a plurality of pumps each causing a movement of the mix along one of the circulating paths,
wherein each circulating path comprises a cavitation reactor configured to generate a process of hydrodynamic cavitation, and
wherein each delivery section connects one of the plurality of pumps to the tank and each return section connects the tank to the one of the plurality of pumps, whereby the mix can circulate from the tank along the circulating paths and be directed again into the tank for all the time, during which the plurality of pumps is maintained activated.
