A fluid treatment apparatus and method for preventing or removing the formation of paraffin, scale, salt encrustation, emulsion, and the like on the interior surface of a conduit carrying a fluid. The fluid treatment apparatus comprises a turbulent flow generator, a plurality of support cylinders inside the apparatus, symmetrically opposed lower and upper flow distribution holes in the support cylinders, a plurality of permanent magnets within the support cylinders oriented with adjacent magnets having the opposite polarity, magnetic field intensification disks disposed between each magnet, and two magnetic field closure rings engaged with the support cylinders for securing the position of the cylinders and magnets and for closing and concentrating the magnetic fields at both extremities of the plurality of magnets. The method for preventing or removing the formation of paraffin, scale, salt encrustation, emulsion, and the like from the interior surface of a conduit transferring a fluid consisting of inducing the turbulent flow of the fluid with the conduit, subjecting the fluid to a plurality of magnetic fields, and inducing further the turbulent flow of the fluid within the conduit.

A method for preventing and reducing the problems associated with emulsion and build-up of paraffin, scale, salt encrustation and the like on the surface of a structure transferring a fluid comprising: (a) inducing turbulent flow of the fluid within the structure; (b) subjecting the turbulently flowing fluid to a sequence of magnetic fields of alternating polarity by passing the turbulently flowing fluid in the vicinity of a plurality of discrete solid cylindrical magnets aligned linearly along the direction of fluid flow with like poles of adjacent magnets oriented adjacent to one another; (c) inserting a solid disk-like ferromagnetic element between the like poles of adjacent magnets to intensify the magnetic fields; (d) positioning a ferromagnetic member at each extremity of the linearly aligned magnets to close and intensify the magnetic fields at the extremities; (e) inducing further turbulent flow of the fluid as it flows in the vicinity of the magnets.
