Abstract: Flow cell ultrasound treatment used non-chemical action and was conducted with room temperature and ambient conditions of pressure for disruption of cells, allowing the consideration of ultrasound as a clean technology. The 30 kHz flow cell ultrasound that was demonstrated technically at 55 ml/min and 35 % power increments had higher performances, with (i) 94.59 % model organism disruption and (ii) the lowest cost of treatment at 0.0579 kWh/liter of electric energy per order and equally to 2.90 USD/m3. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant difference by one-way anova between flow rates and power effect in flow cell ultrasound (p < 0.05), where Tukey Honest Sig-nificant Difference (HSD) post hoc analysis revealed that the increase of flow rate from 40 to 70 ml/min was generating increases of power from 0.00336 to 0.00409 kW. Thus, flow cell ultrasound is an efficient sustainable technology but the economic costs need to be carefully balanced with the need for sustainable treatment for future.
