  • Publication number: 20250177996
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for magnetically separating a fluid flow passing through a pipeline are provided. A magnetic separator assembly having a plurality of elongate magnetic members is provided. Each magnetic member can have a first end and a second end. A cleaner plate can be provided that can move along the magnetic members. After the magnetic separator assembly is used to collect magnetic particles from a fluid flow in a pipeline, the magnetic separator assembly can be cleaned by sliding the cleaning plate along the magnetic members.

  • Publication number: 20100294706
    Abstract: A reusable magnetic device for the extraction of ferrous particles from a body of fluid, wherein the device comprises a plurality of magnets and soft ferrous metal spacers arranged in an alternating sequence to form a stack, adjacent magnets being arranged with like poles facing, a non-magnetic and non-ferrous end piece terminally disposed at a first end of the stack, and a non-magnetic housing that contains the magnets, the spacers and the end piece. The magnetic device can be installed in a vessel to provide a fluid filtering assembly.
