Simulation of a dielectrophoretic electrodesalter for intensification of desalting of crude oil emulsions
We recently suggested a new method/technology for desalting of crude oils using electric fields. The method involves use of non-uniform modulated electric fields to enhance electrocoalescence of water droplets in a crude oil emulsion. The relevant details are in the patent
