This short 2-minute animation demonstrates how the innovative MagSep Separator works to clean and purify contaminated water.
Description of the purification process:
- When unclean water enters the MagSep, the water's pollutant particles combine with the MagSep's polymer and magnetite.
- The polymer acts like a glue and the magnetite makes the subtance magnetic, forming a magnetic pollutant polymer, or MPP.
- MPP adheres to the magnetic disks and the clean water exits the system.
- The magnetic disks rotate, scraping the MPP and magnetite back into the tank.
- The MPP is pulled out of the tank by the first magnetic drum.
- It is then scraped into the Shear Tank, which separates the magnetite from the pollutant/polymer.
- It then splits the magnetite and the now nonmagnetic pollutant/polymer into their respective locations.
- The pollutant/polymer drops into an effluent tank and is disposed of.
- The magnetite is picked up by the second drum and is scraped back into the floc mixer.
