Magnetic method and apparatus.

摘要

An apparatus for the control of protistal growth in distillates comprising a length of line through which the hydrocarbon distillate is caused to flow, and means (4,5,6) for producing a magnetic field in or about said line, such that distillate flowing through the line is passed by or through the magnetic field. Additionally a method of controlling protistal growth in distillates is included and this comprises the steps of: a) Causing liquid fuel to flow through a fuel line; and b) Causing a magnetic field in or about said fuel line such that the fuel flowing through said fuel line passes by or through said magnetic field. h
