A magnetic filter is disclosed suitable for use in large heating and/or cooling systems, for example heating systems using pipework between 2 inch bore and 4 inch bore. The magnetic filter includes a separation chamber in the form of a pipe, and externally-mounted magnetic 5 assemblies which are movable from a position close to the pipe to a position spaced from the pipe. The magnetic assemblies are pivotally mounted to the pipe via a framework.

A device for the filtration of a fluid comprise a body of the device defining a filtration chamber and equipped with: a filtering element which divides the filtration chamber into a first and a second half-chamber; an inlet/outlet interface having a first inlet/outlet opening and a second inlet/outlet opening. A connection module is mounted on the body of the device and comprises a first inlet/outlet conduit and a second inlet/outlet conduit; a connection interface associated with the inlet/outlet interface and having a first passage section in fluid communication with the first inlet/outlet conduit and a second passage section in fluid communication with the second inlet/outlet conduit. The connection module is selectively mounted on the body of the device according to a plurality of different operative configurations.

This invention concerns an installation and method for treating a first stream (S1) of a colloidal suspension of water and ultra-fine particles and a second stream (S2) of heavy oil, both of which streams are derived from treating a flow of heavy crude oil or bitumen, to convert them into separate streams of clean water, clean oil, decanted solids and usable gases. The first stream (S1) is treated in a series of electro-kinetic reactors (20) operating by electrolysis/electro flocculation and water tank clarifiers (30) connected in parallel. The second stream (S2) is treated in ultrasound cyclone chambers (40). Released gas is collected from the tops of the electro-kinetic reactors (20) and the ultrasound cyclone chambers (40). Decanted solids are collected from the bottoms of the electro-kinetic reactors (20) and the ultrasound cyclone chambers (40). Clean water is collected from the water tank clarifiers (30). Clean oil is collected from the ultrasound cyclone chambers (40).

An insulating cover for a central heating system filter is provided in two parts. The insulating cover may be made from, for example, expanded polypropylene foam. The cover may include magnets for attracting and retaining magnetic debris within the filter. The cover may include a leadscrew arrangement to assist with removal of the cover from the filter for servicing.

The invention relates to a fluid treatment device comprising a stirring element and at least one magnetic device. The stirring element has a plurality of flutes within its central portion, and the magnetic devices are placed around the stirring element. The device can further comprise a UV irradiation module and an on-line analysis module.

There is provided a fluid treatment separator and a method of treating fluid such as tailings from tailings ponds resulting from oil sands production. A fluid treatment separator may be used for treatment of a mixture containing at least oil and water. The separator includes a mixing chamber, an inlet and at least one outlet. The mixing chamber defines a flow path between the inlet and the at least one outlet. The inlet includes a nozzle arranged to introduce turbulence to the mixture along the flow path. At least one magnet is arranged to apply a magnetic field to the mixture along the flow path.

As a fine bubble amplifier capable of treating a large amount of electrolyzed water, the present invention provides a fine bubble amplifier 100 that amplifies fine bubbles in an electrolytic liquid A. The fine bubble amplifier 100 includes a flow-feeding pipe 1 that is made of metal and flow-feeds the electrolytic liquid A and one or a plurality of magnets 21 that are arranged radially outside the flow-feeding pipe 1. The flow-feeding pipe 1 has an axis perpendicular cross section of circular shape and has a recessed groove 1a extending in a circumferential direction in an inner circumferential surface and a magnetic flux of not less than 99 mT is formed in at least a portion of a space inside the recessed groove 1a by the magnets 21.

A water cooling/recirculating management system, including: a controller; a fluid displacement pump; a centrifugal separator; a germicide generator; a primary side stream magnetic field generator; and a continuous, real time corrosion monitoring and reporting system.

A device for treating a flow of water having a chamber (1) through which the flow of water passes. In the chamber (1), a voltage with alternating polarity is fed to two electrodes (15a, 15b) of at least one electrolysis device, whereby particles of the electrode material are released to and entrained by the flow of water. The particles in the flow of water are mixed in at least one nozzle (45) of a vortexing device.

The invention is a water purification system without use of chemical substances. The essential parts of the system are a chamber with inlet and outlet for flowing incoming and outgoing air into a water-containing tank; at least one UV radiation lamp; optionally a UV radiation reflection cover on inner wall of the chamber; at least one double magnetic ring pair; and a skeleton for occupying center volume of the chamber around central longitudinal axis of the chamber. The skeleton comprises inner space for accommodating the lamp and holding elements for holding the double magnetic ring pair(s) around the lamp. The UV radiation reflection cover is configured to amplify interaction of UV radiation with oxygen molecules in the incoming air. The double magnetic ring pair(s) is configured to intensify the local magnetic fields and increase the number and mean lifetime of radicalized oxygen molecules and improve water purification.
