  • Method and device for testing the effectiveness of magnetic treatment of feed water for reducing mineral scaling in reverse osmosis processes
    Patent number: 10648957
    Abstract: A benchtop device flow setup for determining the effectiveness of magnetic treatment of feed water for reducing mineral scaling includes two similar branches, both equipped with a reverse osmosis membrane and a pump that operate in the transient regime at the same flow rate and transmembrane pressure. The flow setup is further fed with a solution at the same level of supersaturation measured in a stirred reactor, however, only one branch exposes the feed to a magnetic field.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2020
    Assignees: Government of the United States of America, The Bureau of Reclamation, New Jersey Institute of Technology
