Petreco products

Petreco Electrostatic Dehydrators present advanced solutions for efficiently removing water and contaminants from crude oil, enhancing preparation for storage, transportation, or refining processes. Utilizing state-of-the-art electrostatic precipitation technology, these systems support oil producers and refiners in meeting precise product specifications with high efficiency, even when dealing with challenging heavy crudes. The core technology is centered around a robust electrostatic separation mechanism where crude oil, mixed with freshwater, enters a pressurized vessel and is exposed to a high-voltage electric field. This accelerates the coalescence of water droplets, promoting their separation and settling due to gravity. Equipped with a three-grid electrode system and horizontal dual-flow distribution, Petreco Dehydrators are capable of achieving up to 99% salt removal in two-stage installations, adapting to a wide range of crude oil densities, and significantly reducing chemical dependencies and operational costs.

Petreco Electrostatic Desalters are engineered to efficiently remove salts, water, and sediments from crude oil, optimizing it before refining or transportation. These systems utilize advanced electrostatic coalescence technology, which ensures superior crude quality by preventing corrosion and fouling of downstream equipment. The Petreco desalters feature a unique three-grid electrode system that produces strong and uniform electric fields to enhance water droplet coalescence, securing effective removal of salts and contaminants. Engineered horizontal dual-flow distribution maximizes throughput, significantly outperforming traditional vertical systems. Additionally, the multi-stage capability adds flexibility, with two-stage systems achieving up to 99% salt removal. This technology is crucial for applications such as pre-refinery crude desalting and export specifications, offering a variety of configurations including single and two-stage models. The systems are designed to ensure crude oil meets stringent industry standards across challenging operations.
