Abstract:
1. An apparatus providing fluid treatment, comprising: a. a magnetically conductive conduit to receive a flow of a fluid to be treated along a path extending through the magnetically conductive conduit, the magnetically conductive conduit having a fluid entry port at the proximal end of the conduit, at least one fluid impervious boundary wall downstream of the fluid entry port and a fluid discharge port at the distal end of the conduit; b. at least one electrical conductor comprising at least one length of an electrical conducting material having a first conductor lead and a second conductor lead, the electrical conductor coiled with at least one turn to form at least one uninterrupted coil of electrical conductor, each coil forming at least one layer of coiled electrical conductor; c. means for sleeving the magnetically conductive conduit within the at least one electrical conductor, whereby at least one turn of electrical conductor encircles at least a section of the outer surface of the magnetically conductive conduit with the coils oriented substantially orthogonal to the fluid flow; and d. at least one electrical power supply operably connected to at least one conductor lead, wherein the at least one coiled electrical conductor is energized to produce a pulsed magnetic field having pulsed lines of flux directed along the fluid flow path and concentrated in a plurality of distinct areas along the longitudinal axis of the magnetically energized conduit.
