MagAFS (Advanced Magnetic Nano-Particle Filtration)
Do you want to eliminate fouling, stabilize pressure drop, and extend catalyst life?
MagAFS is UNICAT’s next-generation magnetic filtration technology, engineered to remove sub-micron and nano-scale contaminants before they impact your process.
Designed for the realities of modern refining and amine systems, MagAFS addresses the root cause of fouling, corrosion, and catalyst deactivation — particles conventional filters cannot capture.

- Collaborative
- Profit Enhancing
Why MagAFS
Conventional filtration is typically limited to larger particles, allowing fine contaminants to pass through and contribute to fouling, pressure drop, and catalyst deactivation.
MagAFS addresses this by capturing nano-scale particles that traditional systems cannot effectively remove.
Key Features of MagAFS
- Advanced nano-particle removal
- Superior filtration efficiency
- Extended catalyst cycle length
- Cost Savings
- Reduced pressure drop and fouling
- Lower operating and maintenance costs
Technology Overview
MagAFS utilizes a patented external magnetic field to remove:
- Ferromagnetic particles (iron, FeS, fines)
- Paramagnetic and diamagnetic solids
- Contaminants in both gas and liquid streams
This enables continuous filtration without plugging or frequent changeout.
Application
MagAFS is designed for integration with existing systems and can be applied across hydroprocessing and refining units to improve overall performance and reliability.
MagAFS is suitable for a wide range of refining and petrochemical applications, including:
- Amine treating systems
- Hydrotreating and hydroprocessing units
- Gas processing and LNG
- Hydrogen and syngas systems
- Preheat and reactor protection
AFS 2.0 Integration
MagAFS can be used in conjunction with UNICAT’s AFS 2.0 grading systems to further enhance filtration performance.
Together, these technologies improve flow distribution, increase foulant holding capacity, and extend operating cycles.
