  • Apparatus for magnetically treating flowing fluids
    Patent number: 6733668
    Abstract: An apparatus for magnetically treating fluids produced from a hydrocarbon well includes a hydrocarbon section and a reactor section. The hydrocarbon section is designed to treat crude oil to inhibit the deposition of paraffins, asphaltines, and the like. The reactor section is designed to treat aqueous fluids to inhibit the deposition of mineral scale, and in particular the deposition of barium sulfate. The magnets in the two sections are arranged in a linear, co-axial relationship. Radial focusing magnets provided in the reactor section distort the magnetic field and inhibit dissolved minerals from forming scale on the production tubing. The apparatus is effective at preventing fouling by barium sulfate deposition.
