Oil Dehydration Improved by Dual Frequency Electrostatic Process

With the world’s production of crude oil becoming heavier<br>and moving offshore into deeper waters, the need for efficient,<br>compact separation and dehydration is essential. Application<br>of improved electrostatic dehydration technologies has the<br>potential to have a major impact in reducing oil production<br>costs. Improved hydraulic efficiency, the use of alternative<br>electrodes and the application of dual frequency modulation to<br>the electrostatic power supply shows significant production<br>benefits.
