How Magnetic Ballast Clarification Works

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.
