Separation of oil/water emulsion under non-uniform electrical field
In this paper desalting and dehydrating of crud oil in water-in-oil emulsion type is investigated under non-uniform electrical field using direct current (DC) and the results are compared with the ones of available methods. The effect of time, temperature and voltage on separation efficiency is also considered. The results show that the inhomogeneous electrical field method can be the proper and suitable way to desalt and dehydrate the water-in-oil emulsions. In laboratory conditions of 10500 to 11000 volts of voltage and 50 hertz of frequents the separation efficiency of 99% is achievable.
