The MBC removes fine particles from water using magnetic seeding technology.

  • A small amount of magnetite is added to the water where it is attached to fine pollutant particles with a polymer.
  • Permanent rare earth magnets quickly remove these combined pollutant/magnetic particles from the water.
  • The magnetite is then mechanically cleaned by separating it from the pollutant particles with a shear mixer and reused.
  • The magnetite is free from fouling by organics and is reused over and over again.
  • There is no additional pressure drop through the system when the magnetite gets dirty.
