MagBee, the Magnetic Separator for Drilling Mud

Field notes

The separator is presented as a magnetic treatment stage for oil-based mud used in deep shale drilling. Its stated mechanism combines a static inner magnetic system with a Halbach closed magnetic circuit and a high-gradient field. The page specifies a 5–20μm target range and lists 25–80 m³/h capacity, while identifying barite fines, magnetite debris, and iron minerals as the contaminant sources it addresses.
