Following primary oil/water separation crude oil still contains residual amounts of water containing unwanted salts that need to be removed in order to avoid undesirable effects downstream such as fouling.
Suez Oil & Gas Systems offers a range of crude oil dewatering and desalting technologies that cover most typical processing requirements depending on the salt level required. These include:
- Free water knock out drums
- Heater treaters
- Dehydrators
- Coalescers
- Electrostatic desalters
- Degassers
The benefits and features of our electrostatic and mechanical treaters include:
- Low maintenance
- Excellent turn-down performance
- Adjustable for load and voltage resulting in high operational flexibility
- Effective design means minimal chemical treatment
