ELECTROSTATIC CRUDE EMULSION TREATERS (HVF)

The ATLAS Electrostatic Treater provides higher throughput volumes at lower treating temperatures resulting in lower operating costs. Electrostatic treating has proven to be one of the most economical efficient methods of treating crude emulsions.

The ATLAS Electrostatic treater utilizes a high intensity AC electrical field to polarize the highly conductive water droplets in oil. The opposite poles are attracted bringing the water droplets together causing them to coalesce. As the droplets form on and around the electrodes they eventually grow to a size whereby they fall due to gravity.

Treating crude emulsions at lower temperatures leads to a reduction in volume shrinkage resulting in increased output volumes of clean oil. An increase in processed volumes will generally be realized when comparing an electrostatic crude emulsion treater to a mechanical crude emulsion treater of equal size.
