Abstract

A device is placed in a container containing flowing fluid to neutralize fluid contaminants and prevent their deposition on the walls of the container. The device includes a weak electrical current generator having an electric half-cell that forms an electric circuit with the earth-grounded container via the liquid and generates electrons to neutralize the charged contaminants. The generator includes one or more cupriferous tubes containing a mixture of vegetable oil, and powders of copper, zinc, manganese, cellulose and predominantly iron. Preferably, each tube contains: vegetable oil--5.0-20.0% iron powder--50.0-80.0% copper powder--2.0-10.0% zinc powder--2.0-10.0% manganese powder--2.0-10.0% cellulose powder--2.0-15.0% trace minerals--.ltoreq.0.50%. This device may be placed in the line of flow of a deep oil well to prevent deposition of paraffin and other contaminants onto the walls of the pipeline. The device is useful in all types of confined fluid systems which utilize flowing water, oil or glycol, such as pipelines, steam or hydronic boilers, cooling tower condensers, chillers, and water conditioners.
