G-Force - Crude Oil Desalting Plant - Brochure

This plant is utilized to wash salt from crude oil. In cases where crude oil is highly contaminated with salt deposits in order to upgrade the market value of the crude the salt must be washed and removed. There are different types of technology to use for this application, the principle one being the injection and mixing of fresh water into the crude so that the salt is transferred from the crude into the water phase and then the water phase (containing the salt) is separated from the crude oil. Separating the salt water from the crude is the critical step especially where treated material specifications are involved.
