Abstract: We introduce a new and efficient technology for crude oil dehydration by electrostatic coalescence. This technology accelerates the separation of oil and water by electric field. The experimental results show that this technology can greatly reduce the size and weight of treatment facilities and adapt to the working conditions of water content of crude oil up to 95%. It can also be used as an effective means of heavy oil dehydration.
