  • Publication number: 20220387908
    Abstract: A method of controlling a demulsifier dosage to an AC/DC modulated coalescer is described. The method includes monitoring a characteristic of an electric current drawn by an electrical component of the AC/DC modulated coalescer, determining if the characteristic of the electric current lies outside a predetermined stable range, and increasing the demulsifier dosage if the characteristic of the electric current lies outside the predetermined stable range. A system for controlling a demulsifier dosage to an AC/DC modulated coalescer with an adjustable dosing mixing valve is also described. The system includes a current sensor arranged to monitor an electric current drawn by an electrical component of the AC/DC modulated coalescer, and a processor configured to determine if a characteristic of the electric current lies outside a predetermined stable range.

  • Patent number: 11492557
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a computer-implemented method that includes: monitoring, at a gas oil separation plant (GOSP) facility that includes a high-pressure production trap (HPPT) apparatus and a Dual Frequency Desalting (DFD) device, a plurality of parameters, wherein the plurality of parameters include one or more current measurements from the DFD device, as well as gas temperature and demulsifier concentration from the HPPT; based on the one or more current measurements, determining a rate of change of the one or more current measurements from the DFD device; and in response to the rate of change as well as the gas temperature and the demulsifier concentration, adjusting a demulsifier dosage being injected at the HPPT apparatus.
