Design, construction and performance evaluation of a magnetic water treatment

Abstract

Magnetic water treatment (MWT) techniques have shown promising potentials in different areas especially in agriculture. This report deals with the design and manufacturing of a magnetic water treatment apparatus. A positive effect on irrigation water was found by using this apparatus. The device was capable of adjusting the magnetic field strength up to 500 mT and also was equipped with a magnetic water circulation system and a cooling system. In this study, the effects of magnetized water were investigated on the germination rate of cotton seeds in order to evaluate the apparatus.
