  • ELECTRO-KINETIC SEPARATION OF SALT AND SOLID FINES FROM CRUDE OIL
    Publication number: 20200299592
    Abstract: A method includes introducing a crude oil process stream into an electro-kinetic separator (EKS), passing the crude oil process stream through an electric field generated by the EKS, and removing at least a portion of salt and solid particles from the crude oil process stream as the crude oil process stream passes through the electric field. A product stream is discharged from the EKS with reduced salt and solid particle count as compared to the crude oil process stream.
