Abstract: A process for the quality improvement of a nonpetroleum organic liquid (fats, animal and vegetable oils) containing color bodies, moisture and alkali soaps as impurities. The organic liquid is subjected to (1) a refining step using an aqueous alkali reagent, (2) admixing with the organic liquid of a finely dispersed solid adsorbent, (3) elevated temperatures dehydrating and deareating the mixture of the organic liquid and dispersed solid adsorbent, and (4) electrofiltration of the mixture of organic liquid and solid adsorbent to provide a solids-free, soaps-free quality improved organic liquid which is passed to a subsequent utilization (e.g., hydrogenation, deodorization, etc.). Electrofiltration is conducted in an atmosphere substantially devoid of oxygen-containing gases and moisture.

Abstract: A desalter/dehydrator having a plurality of electrified coalescing stages in a single vessel, wherein the stages are isolated hydraulically to allow parallel or serial stage operations. In one embodiment, several electrical stages, each separately energized, are operated in parallel to proportionately increase vessel throughput capacity. In another embodiment, series operation is employed, wherein each successive stage receives the product from the preceding stage as feed, with fresh water being added. Placement of electrodes, distributors, collectors, etc. are determined by the type of operation to be performed in the vessel.
