Abstract: A portable water purifier which includes a housing, an inlet conduit, a first filtration station, a pump for pumping an aqueous fluid through the inlet conduit and through the first filtration station, a second filtration station, a magnetic treatment station wherein the magnetic lines of flux are angled with respect to the flow of water, a UV station, and a discharge conduit.

Abstract: A magnetic treatment apparatus comprising an outer housing, a plurality of parallel water conditioning devices mounted within the outer housing, each conditioning device having a cylindrical inner tube, a cylindrical outer tube surrounding the cylindrical inner tube, a fluid path formed between the cylindrical outer tube and cylindrical inner tube, a plurality of helical flights extending through the fluid passageway, a plurality of magnets within the cylindrical inner tube, each having a length equal to a distance between adjacent helical flights, the magnets in the inner tube being magnetically aligned.

Abstract: There is provided a device and a method for decreasing hydrocarbon fuel usage in a vehicle, the method including the steps of installing a fuel treatment device whereby fuel passes through the device prior to going to the engine, the fuel treatment device having an inlet and an outlet, an inner tube having at least one magnet pair with a north pole and a south pole, and an outer tube concentric with the inner tube to thereby form a passageway between the inner tube and the outer tube, a baffle member being mounted in the passageway to cause fuel passing therethrough to flow in a spiral configuration.

Abstract: A method for the treatment of water used in a cooling tower, the method including the steps of withdrawing a portion of the water from a basin of the cooling tower, subjecting the water to a magnetic treatment, and withdrawing blow down water for use in irrigation.

Abstract: A method and device for removing scaling from the interior of a conduit used in a heat transfer device, the method comprising the steps of diverting a portion of the fluid from the conduit, passing the diverted portion through a filter, passing the filtered portion through a magnetic field, and reintroducing the fluid into the conduit. The method of the present invention can also be used with chillers to control bacterial growth therein.
