DESALITANTION SYSTEM

Abstract

This utility model relates to an electrostatic desalting system (dehydrator) used in oil pretreatment and refining processes. The device utilizes an electric field generated within a pressure vessel to separate water, salts, and dissolved impurities from crude oil. The system consists of a pressure vessel, a first distribution chamber that vertically directs the emulsion into the inner zone of the electric field, a second distribution chamber that radially and horizontally introduces the emulsion into the lower layer of the field, and a set of multi-electrodes arranged at several horizontal levels. This design allows for targeted emulsion direction into zones of varying electric field intensities. This combination of key features accelerates the coarsening of water droplets within the emulsion, oscillating within different zones, and enhances the coalescence process.The flow control device responds to changes in voltage or current, directing the emulsion to the desired distribution compartment. This enables highly efficient desalination of various types of crude oil in a single system.
