Q

What is the purpose of the electric grids in the desalters?

A

They cause the water droplets to form larger drops, making them easier to fall out of the crude.

Q

What is the purpose of injecting water soluble demulsifier into the inlet of the 1st stage of the desalters?

A

This injection prevents high oil content in the effluent brine discharged from the 1st Stage Desalter

Q

Why is the crude heated before going to the desalters?

A

The crude must be at higher temperature to maximize the effectiveness of the desalters by improving water/oil separation

Q

Why is caustic injected after the second stage desalters?

A

This is done to combat possible presence of HCl , a strong acid. This acid forms from decomposition of salt (NaCl), which can corrode the overhead system of the crude and vacuum tower.
