FLOWMAG
The magnetic treatment of fluids present an excellent method of avoiding costly scale formation. Wherever water circulates as a heating or cooling mechanism, in water supply system, as process water or in chemical manufacturing processes build-up of calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, iron phosphate and various hydroxides forms a major maintenance headache endangering productivity and operational costs and increasing the risk of downtime.
A properly sized and installed FLOWMAG solution will significantly reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs and will most likely reduce the amount of chemical required while delivering the same or better end product quality.
MHD scale control technology combines advanced magnetics and fluid dynamics to control the formation of scale in new piping and process equipment preventing blockages and unscheduled maintenance. In existing piping and process equipment the corrective action entails the proportional dissolving and disintegrating of deposited old scale. These deposits are then carried downstream with the passing fluid.

FLOWMAG FUNCTIONING
MHD magnetic fluid treatment provides a corrective and preventive solution for scale control. Because of the direct influence of the magnetic field on the particels present in the fluid, and the indirect effect of the electromotive force that is generated inside the FLOWMAG on the particels, their characteristics will change. This change in characteristics will in turn change the precipitation and crystallization behavior of the particles.TU Delft, Delft University of Technology, NL
