1. An apparatus (100) for processing feedstocks in a process fluid, comprising:
a rotor comprising a plurality of rotor blades arranged over a circumference of a disk (3a) mounted onto a rotor shaft (1) and forming a rotor blade cascade (3),
a plurality of stationary vanes arranged into essentially annular vane cascades (2, 4) adjacently disposed with regard to the rotor blade cascade such, as to form a stator-rotor-stator arrangement (2, 3, 4), and
a casing (6), in which a duct is formed with at least one inlet (8) and at least one exit (9), said casing enclosing the rotor blade cascade (3) and the stationary vane cascades (2, 4) inside the duct,
wherein position of the rotor blade cascade (3) relative to stationary vane cascades (2, 4) in the stator-rotor-stator arrangement is adjustable in an axial direction along the rotor shaft by a predetermined distance (ΔX).
