Application of magnetic units for intensification of water treatment

Abstract

Abstract The article investigates the main problem of the standard water treatment system which requires high consumption of reagents and the need to systematically select the optimal dosage (depending on the changeable environmental conditions). The proposed technology of magnetic-reagent treatment of water allows intensifying the stage of reagent treatment. With the implementation of this technology the costs for the reconstruction of the object will not be significant. Bench and test-industrial tests at oil contaminated and drinking water treatment facilities showed the effectiveness of the proposed method, caused by a decrease in time of gravitational separation of coagulated globules and a reduction in the reagent consumption. It is shown that the proposed technology can be considered both as an upgrade of existing water treatment stations operating under a typical scheme, and in the design of new facilities.
