Improving the desalting and dewatering process of crude oil


Abstract in English

In this research we improve the desalting process by determine the perfect value of demulsifier and washing water flow rate , reducing the salts concentration of separated water current going to first stage desalting and increasing residence time of oil into desalter according to the characteristic of oil and the process condition.
