Abstract

Magnetic water treatment (MWT), an alternative solution for scale control, is discussed with emphasis on the construction of the magnetic devices and the mechanism of MWT influence on the scale formation. Two applications in high-temperature and high-pH conditions are presented. The treatment noticeably reduced the scale thickness on the heating spiral and removed preciously precipitated scale from hot tap-water outlet pipe; on the walls in the zone with heated alkaline water, instead of hard scale, only thin, brittle coating was formed. The morphology analyses showed the acceleration of aragonite nucleation and raised formation of fine suspended particles.
