Flo-Rite Fluids, Inc. of Abilene, Texas
was formed in 1984 when it was issued U.S. Patents for Flo-Rite
Magnetic Fluid Conditioners. Our oilfield units date
back to the early 80’s where we first started using
our technology in the oilfield and the first patent was filed.
Since then we have developed several different types of magnetic
fluid conditioners for a variety of different applications,
and have updated our units to the latest technology available
on the market.
As the leader in the reduction or prevention of
scale, corrosion and paraffin in the oil and water
industry, Flo-Rite Fluid’s advanced prevention products
and services can help your business. We have an established
reputation for our technology that, with proper application,
controls the buildup of scale and paraffin.
For decades, the Russians have utilized Magnetic Fluid Conditioning
to control scale in water and crude oil. Their electromagnets
were bulky and crude, but they worked. The Russians carefully
adhered to three consistent design parameters:
1) adequate magnetic field strength
2) adequate velocity of the fluid through the
magnetic unit and
3) uniform application of the field perpendicular
to the velocity. Today, by using extremely
strong rare earth magnets developed by NASA for space
flight motors, the optimum in design parameters is incorporated
into the Flo-Rite magnetic unit. |
The Flo-Rite Magnetic Fluid Conditioner
is patented under several U.S. Patent numbers. This unique
design passes the fluid stream through a narrow annulus to
insure uniform velocity and magnetic treatment of all fluid
passing through the tool. The annulus gap is set to keep the
velocity through the magnetic field above 22 ft/sec with a
typical pressure drop of 6 psi. The Flo-Rite design exposes
all fluid to many alternating magnetic fields. Failures by
competitive tools reflect inherent design deficiencies in
the strength, number of magnetic fields; and/or inadequate
velocity. The design of the Flo-Rite tool makes it superior
in terms of effective and reliable performance. We treat the
Fluid…Not the pipe.
Flo-Rite magnetic fluid conditioners are
constructed out of high-grade stainless steel. Downhole tools
for 2 3/8” and 2 7/8” tubing are attached right
above the slotted sub. Our downhole pump units have an OD
of 1.66” and are 48” long with standard fittings
at both ends for attaching to the bottom of the pump. The
Flo-Rite tool can also be built to any custom length. Flowline
and transfer pump units are fitted with 2” threaded
ends, or can be manufactured for any size flange or connection
that may be needed. None of the Flo-Rite units have any moving
parts, they are maintenance free, and have no outside power
requirements. The Permanent rare earth magnets that we use
in our construction have an indefinite lifetime.
