System to manage wellbore servicing fluids containing paramagnetic materials

A magnetic multipole fluid separation system for the oil and gas industry comprising:

• a housing assembly having an outer housing and a central insert, wherein the central insert sealingly engages an inner wall of the outer housing and includes at least two cavities around its outer surface extending to an inner diameter of the outer housing, wherein the at least two cavities are covered with a hermetically sealed cover to prevent fluid contamination of the cavities;
• a magnetic assembly located in each one of the at least two cavities, wherein each magnetic assembly comprises one or more permanent magnets or one or more electromagnets;
• an electronics insert housing connected to the magnetic assembly through electrical ports;
• at least two radially extending outer fluid flow passageways adjacent the inner wall of the at least two cavities, wherein the inner surfaces of the at least two radially extending outer fluid flow passageways are coated with a hydrophobic material;
• at least one port along a surface of the at least two radially extending outer fluid flow passageways;
• an outer exit bore in the central insert comprising fluid exit ports connected to an annulus fluid stream outside of outer housing;
• a central conduit;
• and
• a valve to control flow of fluid from central conduit into the at least two radially extending outer fluid flow passageways.

A magnetic quadrupole fluid separation system for the oil and gas industry comprising:

• a first tube disposed along a primary axis and having a first end and a second end;
• a second tube having an inlet at a first end, the inlet positioned within the first tube along the primary axis between the first and second ends of the first tube;
• a valve to control flow of fluid into the first tube and the second tube, wherein the valve can stop the flow of fluid into the first tube and divert it into the second tube, wherein the valve is constructed from titanium, ceramic, stellite, or tungsten carbide;
• and
• a quadrupole magnet system disposed along the first tube between the first end of the first tube and the first end of the second tube, the quadrupole magnetic system having at least four radially spaced apart magnets positioned symmetrically around the first tube, where opposing magnets have the same polarity and adjacent magnets have the opposite polarity.
