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.

In at least one illustrative embodiment, an electromagnetic filter may include a pipe and a magnetic field generator such as an array of permanent magnets. The magnetic field generator generates a magnetic field through a filter section of the pipe. Multiple filter elements are positioned within the filter section of the pipe. The filter elements include a magnetic material and a biorecognition element to bind with a microorganism. The biorecognition element may be a bacteriophage that is genetically engineered to bind with the microorganism. The magnetic field forces the filter elements to positions within the filter section of the pipe. A fluid media may be flowed from an inlet of the pipe to an outlet of the pipe, through the filter section. The fluid media may be a liquid food such as fruit juice. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

An apparatus for magnetic treatment of fluids comprises a tubular body which retains a plurality of magnets and which defines an inner flow channel, a plurality of spaced apart positioning rings secured in the flow channel to the body, each positioning ring having including a plurality of annularly distributed, radially extending turbulence fins disposed in alignment with and annularly to a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension of the tubular body, and one or more radially extending support posts, one support post on a first one of the rings having an outwardly-biased retaining pin, and one of the support posts on a second one of the rings including an outwardly-oriented locking nut for locking the second ring flow channel of the tubular body by rotatably extending the nut from the post.

Devices and methods to remove ferromagnetic particles from a liquid. The device generally includes a container that may include an inlet for the introduction of the liquid and ferromagnetic materials and an outlet from which the cleaned liquid flows from the container. A magnet may be positioned in the container and is configured to attract the ferromagnetic materials. The magnet may be further configured to move and to release the materials into a collection basin. The ferromagnetic material may be removed from the collection basin with the cleaned liquid being moved through the outlet.

A hydromagnetic desalination cell including at least one hollow rectangular flow conduit, a first rectangular magnet and a second rectangular magnet each having a north pole face and a south pole face opposite of each other, wherein the first and second rectangular magnets are disposed along a longitudinal axis and on opposite sides of the rectangular flow conduit, a first opening and a second opening on opposite walls of the rectangular flow conduit extending between the first and second rectangular magnets, and a first and second chamber fluidly connected to the first and second openings. A hydromagnetic desalination system and methods of desalinating brine water with the hydromagnetic desalination system are also disclosed.

A hydromagnetic desalination system and methods of desalinating brine water with the hydromagnetic desalination system are also disclosed.

A multi-function water treatment container for magnetizing water comprises a base, a connection barrel, a son bottle body, a first magnetic element, a second magnetic element, a cap, and a mother bottle body. The N, S poles of the first magnetic element and the N, S poles of the second magnetic element are corresponding to each other and a repelling magnetic field is generated. When shaking the container, the water molecules may be affected by magnetic waves with low frequencies to make the water become the magnetizing and resonating water. The water molecules may become finer. After being cut by the magnetic fields and vibrating with the frequencies, the activity of the water may be enhanced and the molecule arrangement may be more orderly. Furthermore, the oxygen content, the solubility, and the permeability of the water molecules are enhanced substantially so as to being absorbed more easily by human body.
