Desalter

Crude oil desalting and dehydrating is a highly important processing step to control and prevent downstream equipment fouling and corrosion. In addition, it prevents catalyst deactivation, ensuring longer operating cycles as well as product quality.

Electrostatic desalting is used to remove salts and sediments from crude oil and Gas condensate. This process offers the best compromise between energy optimization and ecological sustainability.

Process and Product Description

Desalting combines 3 steps to achieve Salts removal: Injection of fresh clean water to wash crude oil, coalescence to promote droplet growth and separation by gravity.

Electrostatic desalters is the most versatile and effective technology. The electric field enhances water droplet coalescence, reducing residence time between the grids as well as the use of chemicals (demulsifer).
