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,
