A system and method for dynamically reducing sulfur and other contaminants in a crude oil feedstock. The method includes pumping a crude oil feedstock into an inlet of a cavitation reactor and rotating a rotor of the cavitation reactor to induce cavitation events within the crude oil feedstock by formation and collapse of unstable bubbles that resultingly induce shockwaves to propagate through the crude oil feedstock, which further causes mixing and rapid reaction under mild/low to moderate shear forces that reduces damage to the resulting fuel product.

A mixing device has a plate that defines a cradle for receiving containers of various types capable of holding samples and reagents. The rectangular plate is mounted at its corners to mounts which in turn connect to motors. An adapter plate translates the rotational output of the motor to reciprocating vertical motion of the mounts. The motors can be controlled to sequentially drive the mounts up and down thereby creating three dimensional motion of the plate and inducing a vortex into the liquids with a container received into the nest plate.

A compounding platform including a compounding station having a user interface and a rotating device. The compounding platform including a chamber coupled to the compounding station. The rotating device is coupled to the chamber and configured to rotate the chamber relative to the compounding station. The compounding platform further including a consumable configured to be disposed within the chamber and including a plurality of ports and a bladder in fluid communication with the plurality of ports. The compounding platform has a first vial removably coupled to the consumable via a first port of the plurality of ports and including a diluent fluid, and a second vial removably coupled to the consumable via a second port of the plurality of ports and including a medicament. The compounding platform includes a plurality of valves configured to control fluid flow into and out of the bladder and corresponding to the plurality of ports.
