Apparatus and method for the microbiological control of fluids using electric and magnetic fields generated from alternate electrical current of low voltage and low frequency

A method for treating fluids by electromagnetic fields confined with high intensity produced within an apparatus for the microbiological control of fluids in metallic tubing or conductive tubing of electric current having a set of cells of tubing having the capability to either conduct or not conduct electricity, separated by electrically insulating joints, but hydraulically connected together to form sections or connected in series,

• each cell comprising at least a first isolated electrical conductor wire inserted inside of the tubing through a first stuffing box which prevents leaks of a fluid to be treated, the first isolated electrical conductor wire running all along the length of the tubing until said first isolated electrical conductor wire gets out through a second stuffing box and is connected to the outside of the tubing at a first point close to a first hole located where the first isolated electrical conductor wire was inserted, at least a second insulated electrical conductor wire connected to a second point near a second hole where the first isolated electrical conductor wire gets out, and
• an alternating current source of low voltage and low frequency, in which a first and second end of the first isolated electrical conductor wire is connected to and in which a first and second end of the second isolated electrical conductor wire is also connected to, comprising the following steps:
• a) analyzing bacteria type and degree of contamination of an initial sample,
• b) introducing a fluid to be treated through an entry point,
• c) subjecting the fluid to be treated to an electromagnetic field where a field value from 1 μT to 300 μT is applied for a time ranging from 5 to 50 minutes, depending on the results of step a), and
• d) removing the fluid treated through an exit point.
