Coke, A L

This patent describes the method of treating water in a cooling system. It comprises circulating water through a main water circuit, injecting ozone into all of the water in the by-pass circuit, returning the clarified water to the main water circuit, circulating the water removed from the by-pass circuit through a closed recovery water circuit, removing solids from the water in the recovery water circuit of a smaller size than the solids removed in the by-pass water circuit, and returning the water in the recovery water circuit to mix with water in the by-pass water circuit upstream of the point where water in the by-pass water circuit is subjected to a magnetic field.
