A method of increasing the rate by which a dissimilar material separates in a fluid mixture is disclosed. The method includes the step of passing a first fluid mixture containing at least one polar substance and at least one dissimilar material through a magnetically conductive conduit having magnetic energy directed along the longitudinal axis of the magnetically conductive conduit and extending through at least a portion of the first fluid mixture thereby providing a conditioned fluid medium. The conditioned fluid medium is separated into at least two distinct phases in a separation apparatus downstream of the magnetically conductive conduit, wherein the at least one dissimilar material separates from the conditioned fluid medium at an increased rate as compared to a rate of separation of the at least one dissimilar material from the first fluid mixture.
A method of increasing the rate by which a dissimilar material separates in a fluid mixture, having the steps of:
9-10. (canceled)
13-46. (canceled)
A method of separating at least one dissimilar material from a fluid mixture, having the steps of:
