    Crude oil often contains fine saline water droplets, salt crystals, suspended solids and traces of metals. To meet business requirements, the salinity of the latter is limited to 40 mg/L and (BS&W) Basic Sediment and Water must to be lower than 1%. For this reason and to prevent corrosion, plugging, and fouling of equipment, electrical desalting plants are often installed in crude oil production units. This paper presents the results of a laboratory work conducted regarding the impact of important key parameters of oil desalting, namely: the rate of wash water, oil temperature, and injected chemical demulsifier amount in aim to achieve their optimum value and thus to reach the lowest oil salinity and (BS&W) without applying electrical field. Experiments conducted in South Crud Treatment Unit laboratory (UTBS/Hassi-Messaoud/Algeria), showed that the salts removal efficiency (SR.. View More»
