Magnetohydrodynanics is the science that deals with the interaction of a (perpendicular) magnetic field with an electrically conducting fluid by using magnetism as its only influence.
Magnetohydrodynamics provides the hypotheses for MagnetoPetroDynarnics in the application of those same powerful magnetic devices to cause a like effect upon petroleum (carbon-based) products. MagniFlo tools & devices use extremely powerful permanent ceramic magnets utilizing various rare earth metals. These ceramic magnets have been focused & aligned directionally & have had their polar directions altered & changed to conform to our particular requirements.
Through the proper installation of these specially-designed types of magnets it is possible to control &, in most applications, even eliminate the deposition of paraffins & mineral scales in producing oil & water injection wells, flow & trunk lines & their allied equipment.
Other types & methods of controlling scale deposition are designs using Venturi systems or electromagnetic fields. However, these methods can have severe restrictions, particularly in the petroleum industry.
For example, in wells requiring artificial lift methods, by design a Venturi type tool requires placing a restriction within the tubing suing itself. For obvious reasons this will not permit the insertion of any type of pump or a rod string to pass through the tool.
With tools using electricity, expensive & potentially dangerous power cables must follow the pipe in surface & downhole applications.
In wells not requiring artificial lift each & every time instrumentation or other equipment must enter the well these two tool designs must be retrieved prior to well servicing & then replaced after servicing is completed. This it not the case with MagniFlo design.
MagniFlo by design locates their ceramic magnets on the outside of the tubing through the use of tubing subs or pup joints. This permits all MagniFlo tools to be full bore with no internal obstructions to hamper normal servicing of the well. Equally as important, MagniFlo does not affect, alter nor restrict fluid flow & in many instances actually reduces line pressures.
