The paper presents some data from an experimental investigation into the use of magnetic pretreatment, with the objective of maintaining high permeate flux and high selectivity. It was conclusively demonstrated that magnetic pretreatment inhibits and delays formation of clogging deposits on the membrane. Solid suspensoids present in the feed stock or forming in the system are removed continuously and effectively by means of a closed‐bottom hydrocyclone.
