Magnetic field causes ions to repel instead of attracting each other

CAUSES OF SCALE BUILDUP

Common type of scale is CaCO3 (calcium carbonate)In contrast to other minerals,

CaCO3 has inverse solubility vs temperature

At low temperature, CaCO3 has higher solubility and does NOT adhere to metal surface

At high temperature, CaCO3 is less soluble and precipitates onto metal surface

PHYSICS OF SCALE CONTROL

Magnetic field causes recombination of CaCO3from calcite into aragonite

SCALE CONTROL IN UPSTREAM SECTOR

Fluid MagTech is capable of:

• Scale prevention• Scale removal

Applications: water injectors and oil producers

PARAFFIN WAX CONTROL

Fluid MagTech changes:

• viscosity of hydrocarbons

• surface tension

that results in reduction of wax deposits by 25%

• process of wax nucleation

FACTORS AFFECTING WAX FORMATION

Important to take into account:

• temperature

• asphaltenes-resinous content

• flow dynamics

• oil/water ratio• pressure IMPORTANT

EMISSION REDUCTION

By activating fuel though Fluid MagTech

possible

• destroy long molecular bondsof compound hydrocarbons

• change fuel structure and homogeneity

• intensify burning process CO HC NOx SO2

HOW IT WORKS

Efficiency of liquid fuel combustion is defined by:

• quality of atomisation

• readiness to mix with oxidiser (air)

The emulsified fuel contains thousands of water micro-dropsthat cause micro-explosions due to instant boiling

This results in incomplete chemical reaction and inefficiencyCO HC NOx SO2

EFFICIENCY OF DISPERSED WATER

Water is exposed to dissociation

H2O=H++OH-

OH group exceeds oxygen by its oxidising capacitywhere,
