Patent Images
1. A water treatment system comprising:
- a. a moving magnetic collector for collecting magnetic floc;
b. a shear device for receiving the magnetic floc and producing a sheared slurry of magnetic seeds and sludge;
c. a removal device for removing the magnetic floc from the moving magnetic collector such that the magnetic floc can be transferred to the shear device;
d. the magnetic collector and shear device being configured such that the magnetic collector collects the magnetic seeds from the sheared slurry; and
e. wherein the same moving magnetic collector collects the magnetic floc and collects the magnetic seeds that have been sheared from the magnetic floc.

Abstract
A magnetic separator for use in water treatment. Magnetic floc collected from water by the magnetic separator and delivered to a shearing device. Sheared slurry of magnetic seeds and sludge returned to same magnetic separator for extracting the seeds from the sludge and returning the seed to the water for reuse.
