Crude is preheated in crude buffer tank to 65°C and is fed by the plant pumps to initiate processing cycle. Heat exchanger with hot water or steam is used for heating the crude to the temperatures from 50°C to 98°C in a closed loop system. Crude is tested for chlorides content, appropriate calculations are made to determine correct proportions of water to be mixed with the crude to ensure removal of all salts. Proportional amounts of crude oil and fresh water are fed into the plant. The two streams (water and crude) are first mixed in static mixer, where treatment chemicals are also injected. Mixed fluids (crude oil, water and chemicals) are straight away fed to G-force RTR Dynamic Residence Blender to ensure contact of salt with fresh water and its transition from crude to water phase. Simultaneously a mixture of fresh water and crude is treated with chemicals and then it proceeds to 5000-g high speed centrifuge to separate crude from salt water. Desalted crude oil is ready for tanking and storage or supply to refineries or for sale. Plant component designs can provide processing capacities of 5 and 15 cubic meters per hour. If required by customer, plant design can be adjusted to meet specific capacity requirements. The plant shown in the picture has design capacity of 45 m3/hour.

Plant facilities are supplied with annual stock pf spare parts; recommended maintenance schedule is after every 2000 hours of operation (4 times a year). All primary equipment is supplied as complete package, including specialized tools; equipment is ready for installation on top of a concrete pad. No other requirements apply, save as concrete foundation. We also supply buildings to house our plant facilities for all climatic conditions.

Power and water supply are only requirements for a plant with heating units. Power demand for the plant shown in the picture is 125 kWh.
