Magnetic Fluid Conditioner (MFC)

MagWell's Magnetic Fluid Conditioner (MFC) is a proven treatment for removing and preventing the build-up of solid scale and paraffin deposits in oil wells, and is currently being used in over 1,300 wells worldwide. The MFC is a magneto hydrodynamic generator specifically designed for the magnetic treatment of precipitating fluids in producing wells. Fluids are directed across extremely powerful controlled magnetic fields, which alters the growth of paraffin crystals and scale, thereby inhibiting the formation of solids in the well and in the surface equipment The body and shell of the MFC are constructed with 300 series stainless steel. Titanium is used for highly corrosive atmospheres.

Inside the tool are a series of neodymium-iron-boron magnetic circuits creating flux densities in excess of 8000 Gauss. One hundred percent (100%) of the fluids produced pass across the magnetic circuits, which prevent the crystallization of paraffin and scale deposits inside the venture. Hundreds of thousands of wells around the globe suffer from problems relating to paraffin, scale, and asphaltene deposits in pipes, on rods, tubing, and pumps. This condition reduces the well's production rate, and eventually, if not chemically or mechanically treated, will completely stop the flow of oil. Remedial action against these deposits reduces the effectiveness of the oil industry each year by way of treatment costs, lost revenues associated with production downtime, well abandonment and contingent liability costs of chemical usage.

In addition, these deposits increase the energy costs of the operation and accelerates the wear and tear on a well's moving parts. The problem often requires treatment several times per month. Traditional treatments are both expensive and environmentally hazardous. They include: stripping and steaming the rods and tubes, pulling the tubing to mechanically remove deposits; circulating the well with expensive and corrosive chemicals, circulating very hot oil down the annulus at high pressure (hot oiling), and/or some combination of all the above.

In addition to the petroleum industry, MagWell MFC has been used for the following applications: the water treatment infrastructure and sugar purification of two sugar refining plants. Imperial Sugar (US) and Kous Sugar Refinery (Egypt); marine diesel fuel treatment for the Coast Guard; gas; bulk ice; and residential and commercial water treatments.
