Magnetite is a typical corrosion product in closed heating, cooling and process water circuits. Fine magnetite particles can significantly affect pumps, valves, heat exchangers and control valves. ORBEN offers specialized solutions for effective magnetite separation in order to protect systems in the long term and ensure their efficiency.

Magnetite separation is based on the targeted removal of magnetic particles from the water cycle. ORBEN uses powerful magnetic separation systems for this purpose, which reliably capture even the finest particles. These systems are designed to operate continuously and do not require any interruption of plant operation.

A key advantage of ORB magnetite separation is its precise integration into existing systems. Separators can be installed in both main and side flows, depending on system geometry, flow rate and degree of contamination. As a result, optimum separation efficiency is achieved with minimal pressure loss.

The removal of magnetite not only reduces mechanical wear, but also improves the heat transfer and control accuracy of the system. At the same time, maintenance costs are significantly reduced as deposits in sensitive components are avoided. This has a direct positive effect on energy efficiency and operating costs.

ORBENS magnetite separators are designed to require little maintenance. Separated particles can be easily removed without shutting down the system. ORBEN also offers advice on water chemistry and system hydraulics in order to minimize the formation of magnetite in advance.

Magnetite deposition thus makes an important contribution to plant stability and to maintaining the value of technical systems — particularly in demanding industrial water circuits.
