1. A fluid cleaning system, comprising:
at least one solids dissociation apparatus adapted to receive a continuous fluid stream from a fluid source; wherein the at least one solids dissociation apparatus further comprises:
a housing;
at least one insert operably engaged with and disposed entirely inside of the housing, the at least one insert having a first end operably engaged with the housing, a second end opposite to the first end, and a solid wall extending between the first end and the second end, wherein the at least one insert is adapted to receive the continuous fluid stream;
a transducer operably engaged with and is disposed inside of the housing and disposed about the at least one insert at a distance away from said at least one insert, wherein the transducer is configured to create cavitation inside of the housing, via sonic waves, to eviscerate contaminants in the continuous fluid stream flowing through the at least one insert; and
at least one solids separation apparatus operably connected with the at least one solids dissociation apparatus for receiving the eviscerated contaminants provided in the fluid stream, wherein the at least one solids separation apparatus is adapted to separate the eviscerate contaminants from the fluid stream for at least one separation process.
